So this is a FilterMaintenance linked to AirPurifier? |

Yes sir! Requires the Dev branch for now and isn't final. I'll be working on it further but I'm out of time for today. In the next day or two it'll be another example on the air purifier wiki |

Thanks for your work! I have already set up a test branch for testing these new features... I don't want to ruin my setup. |

I'll update here when I have a more final version on the wiki |

This gets complicated really quickly!! The air purifier item does a lot on it's own - then adding the filter as a linked service... Anyway this example works and is a fully functional example as far as I know. If you want to get really complicated you could add a battery service, StatusTamper, StatusActive... |

@crxporter omg man. It's getting more and more complex every day! |

I havent updated my real setup to the dev branch. Should I or when you want to merge these into master? I have a different setup for testing... |

@radokristof I always try to be sure that dev is backward compatible (in most cases) but sometimes something bad can happen. Always backup before updating and keep to last dev to be a happy person with newest features ;) |

I’m going to close this one, if anyone has more questions about the air purifier or filter feel free to ask here anytime! |

I have tried adding AirQualitySensor and FilterMaintenance to my AirPurifier like in your example, but it won't appear inside the AirPurifier. It is still viewable as a seperate device. |

These are the Services in one flow. Not all of them are used in one item. If you copy paste it you will see... I don't know what can cause an issue like this. I have also tried deleting and re-inserting these nodes, this didn't help either. |

I just pasted that all in and clicked on "Levegőminőség" (air purifier) and "Légtisztító szűrő" (air filter) which appear to be marked as "linked services" I suppose you may also be using "Légtisztító" (air purifier) up above - it has more things connected to it. Anyway, it appears you don't have any parent services picked out for your linked services. If you want to link "Légtisztító szűrő" as the filter item for "Légtisztító" then you'll need to choose "Légtisztító" as the parent service for "Légtisztító szűrő" - like this: I'm assuming you know what all of those words mean easier than me! I just copy/pasted and checked google translate... |

Oh and (as always) don't forget to restart node-red after deploy! |

Just pasted in from the example wiki. I had to set the parent node as in my last comment again - it didn't come in from the paste. The wiki example is from the dev branch though so that may not be an issue. I'm going to make a new bridge, add in a purifier and filter, name them as yours, and see what happens. Be right back. |

Thanks. Do Linked Services should appear as a seperate device in HomeKit as well? Because this is what I have now. Set as Linked but showing properly as a seperate (Parent) device (both of them). |

@Shaquu - it looks like linked nodes don't correctly populate the parent node when pasted in. Try it for yourself:
Is this a bug just for me or are you seeing it as well? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

It works fine for me. Follow these steps: 1- add a new homekit node with a new bridge You should end up with an air purifier and a filter status - like in my screenshot a few minutes ago. |

Yes, I have created a new bridge, now it works (however I don't know why filter life is not appering, it is just blank, but I will check that). But I want to add AirQualitySensor also. But that still doesn't seen as a linked service, just as a seperate device... |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
I have not tried AirQualitySensor - it likely will be another device. You can set it up as linked and it will be moved to the same room in homekit as whatever you link it to. The linked services are interesting, all of the combinations may not actually make sense - for example you COULD link a door sensor with a sprinkler. But you probably shouldn't. |

-
Hmm, that makes sense (or not? :) ). A problem with the Filter Life not viewing can be that I'm sending the state together in on object with the FilterCondition? I will try to delay one of them... |

@crxporter You called me. So, there is a bug with importing flows that make it ? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
Use the flow I pasted in the comment where I flagged you. When I exported that it included a parent and a linked - properly configured and ready to use. I believe when you import it you will see no parent selected on the filter maintenance linked node. |

@radokristof - did you get this working?
The pasted flow should have both the parent and linked service included but never actually "wired together" anywhere so technically 2 flows. The important question would be: is there a way we can paste flows containing properly configured parent and linked services? It appears right now that pasted flows for linked services will always need to choose again the parent node. If this is as designed and can't be fixed then the documentation will need to have notes for linked services. |

@crxporter Yes, it is working! Think we can close it. |

I am pretty sure we can make it work when copying flow but didn't figure it out yet... |

@Shaquu I'll close this one and let you start a new issue for the copying issue if you like. Thanks! |

I don't want to flood the other thread.
@radokristof - air purifier and filter state work great together on the latest dev branch.
More to come once I've "cleaned it up" a bit. Likely tomorrow.
I left "FilterMaintenance" off of the Characteristics wiki page - I didn't think we would have linked services so soon! I'll have to add that in as well from the homekit protocol document.
For now I have:
