Yeah. Maybe. But not practical anyway.

The hard question is - should the node be prepared to deal and still behave nicely with all such non practical and misleading use cases? And what is still nice behavior in this kind of therms? To develop protection against it - at one point there is more dead weight in code than actually needed functionality.
Is there some sort of scales of reasonability? I'm a little confused.

43

I didn't think it was a "non practical and misleading use case", it seems totally natural for flows to be constructed in that manner, but that's maybe because I'm not a proficient coder.
But if you have a different view, that's fair enough - it's your contrib-node, do as you wish!!

I was only offering my comments for you to consider and hopefully improve the usability of your node from a user perspective, and certainly with no intention to be "misleading"...

I'll leave it at that.

This is the point. And your codding skills are not under discussion. You are doing all the best with available tools and the result is perfect. Best feedback ever for my doings. :slightly_smiling_face:

V0.1.19 published
Fixed bugs:

  1. Peak reset not working (0.1.18)
  2. Firefox stripe animation starts from low end, not from current position
  3. Value text animation does not work on pair layout (only bottom value is animated)

Just upgraded to 0.1.21 ( Still running on nodered 0.20)
Now none of my levels works anymore and for each I have implemented there is this in the log files:

Just upgraded to Node 1.0.2 . and the problems went away. So ui-level is no longer compatible with older NodeRed versions from the looks of it.

Glad you mentioned it, sad to hear it.
Tried to figure out the version where it still working - seems to be Node-RED v0.20.5

Hello sir,

I have one problem please help me to solve that
i have a serial data ex: "Device ID | Device Data" "1|232" and "2|232" and "3|232"
i want to segregate data and place the data into separate ui text outputs.
if device ID=1 Data should store in Text1
if device ID=2 Data should store in Text2

please help me to solve this

@Allappamp is this related to the ui-level node this old topic is discussing? If not, please start a new topic.
