Package Exports

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-node-timeswitch) 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-node-timeswitch

A Node-RED node to provide a simple timeswitch node to schedule daily on/off events.

Install

You can install by using the Menu - Manage Palette option, or running the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

    cd ~/.node-red
    npm i node-red-node-timeswitch

Usage

Sets msg.payload to 1 during on times, and 0 during off times.

Also uses the suncalc module to allow use of dawn and dusk.

Dawn and dusk times can be offset both positively (+ve) for minutes after dawn or dusk, and negatively (-ve) for minutes before dawn or dusk..

The output emits a msg.payload of 1 or 0 every minute depending on whether the current time is during the selected on time or off time.

If you just need the transitions from 0->1 or 1->0 then follow this node with a filter (RBE) node.

You may also optionally specify a msg.topic if required.

Note: For a more complex version with more built-in options see node-red-contrib-bigtimer node, or for multiple schedules and a nice visual interface to cron then use Steve's node-red-contrib-cron-plus node.
