Hllo i'm using inject node to send data every 10 minutes for my chart but i'd prefered to add a cron to send data at specific minutes like 00,10,20,30,40,50 but i don't know hoxw to set it. Can you help me. Thanks

Use the node-red-contrib-cron-plus node Configure it to [image]

From the inject help notes Note: The "Interval between times" and "at a specific time" options use the standard cron system. This means that 20 minutes will be at the next hour, 20 minutes past and 40 minutes past - not in 20 minutes time. So if you select Interval Between Times and set times to between 00:00 and 00:00 and interval every 10min it should inject on hour and every 10 mins.

thanks a lot :wink: thanks also to UnborN . i was too slowly for test your help

i would try your soluce but it doesn t work. i don't know what to insert for payload outpout. if i just set like you payload doesn't arrived but cron is working

[image] mykerinos1: i don't know what to insert for payload outpout You can select any of the options to determine what Cron+ will output when it triggers. [choice] But in the first instance, try setting the payload to string [output] It will then output a payload string of "Go" [go] OR set the payload to 'Timestamp', which will output a timestamp (similar to the inject node)

Thanks for answering. i tried all ou told to me . with string i only have the payload (name) that i said. with time stamp i only have time stamp without cron plus [without cronplus] withcronplus [with cronplus]

From what is see from your bottom screenshot ... the problem is that you have wired the Cron plus node after your http request node. Usually Cron plus is used at the beginning of a flow to trigger the execution of a flow (In your case to the left of the http request node ) Ofcourse you can trigger flows with the node-red Inject node .. the difference is that Cron plus has more advanced scheduling capabilities (if you need them)

yes but i can change inject node by cron plus but will i can set 1 second cron for one and 10 minute for other one ?

No, Cron+ will send both the 1 second cron AND the 10 minute cron. There would be no need to use an inject node.
