Hello all!
I am new to using variables in Node Red, what i am trying to achieve in from the flow is that if msg.payload == 1 it will trigger a stopwatch function, but it needs flow.count = "start" to run the stopwatch function and i have difficulty using functions to achieve this. Below has a picture of what the change node looks like to activate the stopwatch.
Thanks all!
