It's always nice to automate things but sometimes automation needs some flexibility that can be triggered manually. I've created a UI node that is basically a simple switch but displays the time it was activated and turns itself off after a certain amount of time (it also displays the end time).
What is it for?
My personal use case was to activate an irrigation system outside of scheduled times, but you can obviously use it for basically everything.
Highlights
- easily activate a device for a specific amount of time at the node-red dashboard
- create just one or as many countdowns as you need
- choose between a button/dropdown layout
Your feedback is appreciated
Feel free to make suggestions or report problems at the nodes GitHub site.
Thank you!
