Hello I'm running node red on a Raspberry pi3. I need to create a loop I think. if the weight is greater > 10.00 then open and close the side value. 5 seconds open 5 seconds closed. then repeat if the weight is greater > 10.00 then open and close the side value. 5 seconds open 5 seconds closed …

Take a look at the cookbook https://cookbook.nodered.org/basic/route-on-context You could use the change node to set a flow/global variable and then use a switch on your input based on that flow/global variable

How did you configure the delay node ? This should sit in front of the switch node. [03]

yea that's how I had it configured just seems to do some weird things.

I think whats happening is every 5 seconds its sending a close. once the open is received the closed message follows it straight away not giving the valve to open for 5 secs and close for 5 seconds.

I forgot to check the checkbox. [12]

If you are sending a message every 5 seconds as well, are you sure you aren't seeing the triggered message and the next message?

You are sending numbers and strings ? Not the same thing. Can you post your flow, and some input examples ?

[{"id":"66efa7f8.f43b48","type":"tab","label":"Flow 1","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"d0e46998.c11a08","type":"ui_gauge","z":"66efa7f8.f43b48","name":"","group":"f13266f9.ba79b8","order":4,"width":0,"height":0,"gtype":"gage","title":"gauge","label":"","format":"{{value}}","min":0,"max":"1000","c…

step 1 would be to edit your post to surround the code by 3 backticks ` before and after to make it importable

How are the triggers suppose to work?
mine will send an 1 (open) straight away
wait 5 seconds
then send a 1 (open) and a 0 (close) at the same time. is this normal?
