Hi, folks, I've just started using Node red and get more and more exided! My dashboard contains of multiple tabs with different data. There also a few tabs with external content. I wonder, would it be possible to create automatic shift between the tabs to create some kind of slideshow running on …

The ui control node can be sent messages to tell it to switch tabs. You could arrange to send it a sequence of messages to do what you want.

This is absolutly great! But what if different client sould run different shows like: Client1: Tab1, tab3, tab7 Client2: Tab1, tab4, tab5, tab6, tab7 Ola

I can imagine a couple of different ways to modify the flow for that purpose as long as those users are not using a single instance of Node-RED at the same time, in which case they will visualize the same show.

All accessing the same «node-red-box» so I need to identify the client in some way.. O

the ui_control will report a socketid of a connecting client - commands sent back with the socketid intact will only go to that client - so you can direct things to a certain client... the trick of course is to associate the random socketid with the required screen. (There is also socketip which sh…

Hi, I just found a way to do this. There is an extension for for Chrome called Tabulus Rotatum. This loads a set of tabs and switches from tab to tab after a configured pattern. What's really nice is that the configuration can be loaded from web (node-red) http://127.0.0.1:1880/Clientname By usin…
