Admin: Manage Households → Update Household
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Mealie API to update an existing household within the Admin: Manage Households resource. It is useful for scenarios where you need to modify household details such as the household's name, group association, and preferences stored as a JSON object. For example, updating a household's name or changing its group ID in an administrative system managing households.
Use Case Examples
- Updating the name of a household identified by its UUID.
- Changing the group ID of a household to reassign it to a different group.
- Modifying household preferences by providing a JSON object with new settings.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Method of authentication to use for the API request, either no authentication or API token. |
| Household ID | The UUID of the household to update, used to identify which household to modify. |
| Group ID | The UUID of the group this household belongs to, used to assign or reassign the household to a group. |
| Name | The new name of the household to update. |
| Preferences as JSON | Household preferences provided as a JSON object to update the household's settings. |
| Request Options | Additional request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout configuration. |
Output
JSON
householdId- The UUID of the updated household.groupId- The UUID of the group the household belongs to after update.name- The updated name of the household.preferences- The updated preferences of the household as a JSON object.
Dependencies
- Mealie API, requiring either no authentication or an API token depending on configuration.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues may include invalid or missing UUIDs for householdId or groupId, resulting in errors from the API about resource not found or invalid input.
- Authentication errors if the API token is missing, invalid, or expired, leading to authorization failures.
- Malformed JSON in the preferences field causing the API to reject the update request.
- Network issues such as SSL certificate validation failures if 'Ignore SSL Issues' is not enabled, or proxy misconfiguration causing request failures.
- Timeout errors if the server does not respond within the configured timeout period.
