Another way to arrange this flow?

General
1

Hi all,

This flow is working, but it feels like there's a simpler way of doing it with nodes (i.e. not a function).

I've singled out the payload as the rbe node does not work otherwise, as the payload is constantly changing due to other values such as link value, battery. etc.

Any suggestions?

Something like this.

Thank you, I’ll try when I get home again :+1:

Hmm that does not work for me, I get an error:
Invalid JSONata expression: Attempted to invoke a non-function

Plus as the real incoming sensor payload is constantly changing (due to other values such as link value, battery. etc.), the rbe node would not work there.

But I like the look of the J expression, I suppose if going down that route I may as well use a function node. I'm just trying to keep it as simple as possible for 'future me'.

What is your node-red version? you would need version 1.1 or higher
Or
here is same thing without using $moment()

p.s. Added msg.payload.water_leak in rbe so only monitoring water_leak for change.

Ah yes I'm still on 1.03, I need to update at some point..

That works great now, thank you :slight_smile:
