@funhall _ **please don't post links to pastebin** _, as over time the link breaks and future visitors will be unable to see your flow.  
The preferred method is to paste your flow directly in the forum, but [please read this thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) first, as it needs to be correctly formatted.
