Hi there, I'm new to Node-Red, I'm having fun ! :blush: $ Please advice : I'm trying to create a programmable and resettable timer. I'm using the node-red-contrib-loop-processing nodes. [image] The counter works, but if I use the inject node a second time (to restart the counter) I see that there…

I added a stop function to mine [Screenshot 2020-03-25 at 11.01.02] [{"id":"e55319fd.75bac","type":"inject","z":"f954564f.03e718","name":"","topic":"start","payload":"22","payloadType":"num","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":570,"y":700,"wires":[["f07ada4b.c33cb8"]]},{"id"…

can you post your flow code please? [image] How to share code or flow json FAQs To share code samples or flow json in this forum, you need to take care to format it properly so that it is displayed correctly. The easiest way to do that is to click the 'Preformatted Text' …

Sure, thanks ! Here you are : [{"id":"bab1d11c.c9df7","type":"tab","label":"Flow 2","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"27bad9ee.78950e","type":"inject","z":"bab1d11c.c9df7","name":"","topic":"","payload":"10","payloadType":"num","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":270,"y":260…

Try this, just after the inject node, add a change node and set global.counter to 0

Thanks ! I guess you mean setting global.counter to msg.payload ? I tried this : [image] [{"id":"bab1d11c.c9df7","type":"tab","label":"Flow 2","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"27bad9ee.78950e","type":"inject","z":"bab1d11c.c9df7","name":"","topic":"","payload":"10","payloadType":"num","repeat"…

Nope, set global.counter to 0 [Screen Shot 2020-03-25 at 5.11.27 AM] this should reset the counter used the loop node

Thanks @zenofmud ! It works ! How did you know that this variable was used by the while loop node ?

Saw it to late that @zenofmud already answered your question . But have a look at a different approach using a function node i wrote in the mean time anyway: [Screenshot 2020-03-25 at 10.53.35] [{"id":"e55319fd.75bac","type":"inject","z":"f954564f.03e718","name":"","topic":"start","payload":"22",…

Actually my solution doesn't work. The author of the node should impliment some way to break out of the node (I added an RFE to the GitHub of the node)

Thanks so much both of you ! I'll use your function node @JGKK :blush: I like to avoid function nodes for readability but in this case this looks the way to go.

Here is one with ui: [Screenshot 2020-03-25 at 11.23.04] [Screenshot 2020-03-25 at 11.24.24] [{"id":"c1fd7048.fbcb48","type":"delay","z":"f954564f.03e718","name":"","pauseType":"delay","timeout":"1","timeoutUnits":"seconds","rate":"1","nbRateUnits":"1","rateUnits":"second","randomFirst":"1","ran…
