Notes

  • Safe to run against a live instance: it validates the configuration and changes nothing.
  • Home Assistant requires an admin token for this call; a non-admin long-lived token fails with 401 even though the connection tests green.

See Check Config run in a workflow.

In a technical demo we add the Home Assistant connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
