Package Exports
- node-red-contrib-operatelogic
- node-red-contrib-operatelogic/OperateLogic.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-red-contrib-operatelogic) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Node-RED OperateLogic Node
This Node-RED project contains a custom Node-RED node called "OperateLogic" used for controlling a device based on logical rules and operation modes (manual or automatic) and commands (start or stop).
Usage
The "OperateLogic" node can be configured via the Node-RED GUI. Drag the node into your flow and configure the settings as desired:
- Check Interval: Time interval (in seconds) for checking the rules.
- Rules: Logical rules to be evaluated on the given check interval.
- Restart After Fault: A new start command has to be given when checked. Unchecked it will automatically start again.
- Initial Mode: Initial operation mode (
manualorautomatic). Restarts of Node-RED will keep the mode in memory. This is only for a complete restart of your Node-RED system. - State On/Off: The output command
"on"/"off"can be modified to any boolean, string, or number.
All settings can be adjusted at any time and will immediately take effect.
Operate Logic
Mode Settings
Mode can be set if:
msg.mode = "manual"or"auto"
Start Commands
Start/stop command in manual mode:
msg.manual = trueorfalse(boolean)
Start/stop command in auto mode:
msg.auto = trueorfalse(boolean)
Start commands will not be accepted from opposite modes. For example:
- In manual mode, a start command from
msg.autowill not be accepted. - In auto mode, a start command from
msg.manualwill not be accepted.
You can change the mode to auto/manual only when the output/state is "off".
Rules
Rules can be added/removed. In these rules, you can check flow or global variables against string, number, boolean, flow variable, and global variable with operators. These operators are:
==: equal!=: not equal>: greater<: lessincl: includes

For every rule, you can choose in which mode it has to be checked.
Connect the "OperateLogic" node with other nodes in your Node-RED flow. Send messages to the node to change the operation mode (manual or automatic) and give start/stop commands as in the example below.
Example Flow
Below is an example flow demonstrating how to use the "OperateLogic" node:
