Happy happy joy joy or RTFM!

All true, and i am further down the node red path than i was when i started..

And All my work so far has been proof of concept (to me) and learning the wrong way by trying it..

But the thing is i had been on the raspberry pi list that day! 'chatting' with a chap trying to do a similar thing with wired sensors, and i may have been a tad boasty about my node red solution.. which resulted in a diet of humble pie.. hrmmph!!
at least i had the opportunity to reveal the better solution discovering it before my pi-pal could..
