Hallo all

Im trying to get "cronplus" node input to work.

I have try to make a test setup, where I have a "inject" node whit msg.topic = msg.status, and a "cronplus" node there change evey 30 sec, from schedule1 to schedule2.

But when I press my inject, I only get schedule1 out, and it like it reset.

I need to get the status on the "cronplus" node out. So I manual can activate it.

```auto
[{"id":"9c4822a62ac12da2","type":"cronplus","z":"e20b72d68fd169a4","name":"Solstyring","outputField":"payload","timeZone":"","storeName":"","commandResponseMsgOutput":"output1","defaultLocation":"55 9","defaultLocationType":"fixed","outputs":1,"options":[{"name":"schedule1","topic":"topic1","payloadType":"default","payload":"","expressionType":"cron","expression":"30 * * * * * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"},{"name":"schedule2","topic":"topic2","payloadType":"default","payload":"","expressionType":"cron","expression":"1 * * * * *","location":"","offset":"0","solarType":"all","solarEvents":"sunrise,sunset"}],"x":520,"y":240,"wires":[["5e2df64a20395fb1"]]},{"id":"60d4d3e417a5975e","type":"inject","z":"e20b72d68fd169a4","name":"status","props":[{"p":"topic","v":"status","vt":"msg"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":330,"y":240,"wires":[["9c4822a62ac12da2"]]},{"id":"5e2df64a20395fb1","type":"debug","z":"e20b72d68fd169a4","name":"debug 20","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":720,"y":240,"wires":[]}]

Not sure what you are trying to achieve...  
The inject node is just putting "undefined" in msg.topic as msg.status is itself not defined.  
From what I can see, what you get is "normal". I understand this is not what you wish though.  
Do you want to be able to start either schedule1 or schedule2 on demand ?

I have a sun control system for my lights that switches between light, night dimming, and off three times a day. During the day, it sometimes gets overridden by all the switches in the house. So, I've created a sun control switch that should reset it to where the sun dictates.

To avoid creating a separate control alongside a "time-range" node, I simply want to be able to input a signal into the "cronplus" node and have it output the signal it's set to, like "schedule1" or "schedule2".

@EcarDK have you tried using cronplus dynamic schedules?

Would this work for you?  
Note: It takes a while for the CronPlus node to react, so be patient.

Thx dynamicdave

It work great for getting it to trigger a new schedule1.

But how to I get the current status out ?

So I get schedule1 out, if its on schedule1, and schedule2 if its on schedule2 ?

I think that'll do. Here with only schedule1:

```auto

The important part is to understand that you have to put the "action" in msg.topic (start, stop, status,...) and the targeted schedule in msg.payload.

I just dont understand why I can get the current state out off cronplus node. like in the 2 pngs, you see it status is schedule1 or schedule2

In the Change node you need to set the topic to the string `status`, not msg.status as you have.  
Like this.

No, you don't see the status. You see the name and time of the next cron job.  
Look at the example I just gave.

I've extended @greengolfer's example to include start/stop for schedule2 and get status for schedule 2.  
Hope it might make things a bit clearer.

```

If you adjust the setting in 'debug\_20' to this - you will see the status without having to go down the hierarchy.
