can anyone tell me how i would convert this in to a function so I can set varibles for the tigger times and delays etc? [{"id":"3640f1c3.dbf8de","type":"trigger","z":"ff81c2c4.ef9ce8","op1":"true","op2":"false","op1type":"bool","op2type":"bool","duration":"10","extend":true,"units":"s","reset":"fal…

I'm away from my laptop for the next few days, so can't provide any concrete examples. I've mentioned the env var technique and how you do it. You could rewrite it all as a single JavaScript function, but I can't help with that from my phone. Perhaps someone else could give some guidance on that. …

Yes basically that does sound about right It sounds so simple when you put it like that

[image] gbond: now why have you looped me back to a thread of a different issue (now totally confused what I am suppost to be looking at) That post from Dave was not for your benefit - it was for anyone reading this thread unaware you had already asked on slack and there had been some discuss…

ok dont understand forums no idea whos talking to who !!!!

@gbond indeed, it would often help if people @mentioned the person they were replying to if it isn't a general reply.

The link Dave shared was to where you asked this same question on Slack. I feel like we're getting off topic however. So, let's see if anyone else is in a better position than I am to provide more concrete assistance.

any help on this would be great

[image] Hope this is clearer Want to be able to reduce or multiple this bit with the ability of adjusting the time values in one go (hope that make sense) also just noted I already have one of the delay set different to the others another reason to try & replace with varibles

It's not exactly converting to a function, but the node-red-contrib-mytimeout node accepts overrides if you feed it JSON formatted payloads. You could store your variable delays as flow variables and build your desired payload using a template node.
