New version 0.4.1

The new version supports data and methods. The new feature can be used to set|get local variables (context). This example shows a practical use case:

Hi @cflurin, awesome node indeed. Just a remark about the CO2 example in the wiki page. A warning error is displayed when we inject the value 900. I believe this is due to topic not being correctly set in the change node. I think it is necessary to revise the jsonata expression to cover the range between 800 and 1000. Here below what I see when adding a debug node after the change node. Once again thank you for the dsm node.

Thanks for your feedback. Correct there is an issue in the change node. Please change the JSONata expression to:

(
$v := $number(payload.value);
($v < 800) ? "cross_low" :
($v > 1000) ? "cross_high" : "inter" 
)

I'll update the flow on GitHub and add a check to the dsm node.

Edit: I'm testing the CO2 example, it doesn't work correctly with the new version 0.4.1.

I've published a new version 0.4.2. This should fix the bug.

moved from How can i build a random delayed trigger loop?

I know, generally the state machine approach isn't easy to understand. That's the reason the node is in the Advanced Category. :slight_smile:

One way to learn using the dsm node is to import the examples, there are more then 25 examples in the Wiki

I've no plan at the moment to add a config UI, but let's see.

New version 0.13.0 available.

Enhancements:

  • preState: the previous state (sm.preState) before the transition is executed.

  • preStateOutput: here you can define the msg property e.g. previous => msg.previous

  • examples: Menu > Import > Examples > dsm

To start you can import the skeleton example.

Feedback and PR's are welcome.
