Conditions attribute as property format

[leroyloren]

I have this attribute available for the sensor:
a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66 7266.30133

Can this format be loaded as a property in the trigger state?

not sure if it will work but you could try

new_state.attributes['a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66 7266.30133']

Unfortunately, it doesn't work either.

Despite the function, it's fine
msg.data.event.new_state.attributes["b5b182c7-eab1-4988-aa99-b5c1517008d9 1.55963"];

But I would like to trigger directly

try

new_state.attributes.a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66 7266\\.30133

Doesn't work either 😔

The above worked in my test, let me create it in NR and test

const selectn = require("selectn");

const obj = {
  new_state: {
    attributes: {
      "a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66 7266.30133": 123,
    },
  },
};

console.log(
  selectn(
    "new_state.attributes.a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66 7266\\.30133",
    obj
  )
);

Interesting, when I try and create a sensor with that attribute HA sends back a modified name. It converts the space to an underscore and removes the ., If you use a current state node and dump the entity using a debug node what does it show for attributes?

attributes: {
      'a92ee200-5501-11e4-916c-0800200c9a66_726630133': '2',
      friendly_name: 'nodered 48291a57667670b4'
    },

Now I don't understand, should I enter the code somewhere?

this is what the sensor looks like

If escaping the period with a double forward slash doesn't work. I don't think the current implementation will work then. You might have to do it in a function node.

@zachowj What do you think?
