Situation: Pool pump is only to run while sufficient power from solar panels. Pool pump needs only to run x hours per day. mytimeout seems to be a solution to the second part, but I can't determine how to pause the countdown timer. For example; sufficient power from solar panels triggers the poo…

I have found two things that might help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUSxM6KTN9s Shows how to track accumulated/elapsed time quite easily Also Our very own Steve Rickus helping someone out on the old forums https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/node-red/YjEldxFUU_o Craig

It's a similar use case we discussed here: [image] Cumulative running time General I am looking for suggestions on a node, or way to capture cumulative running time of equipment. For example: a machine runs for 2 hrs, then is down for 20 minutes, then starts again for 3 …

Thanks for you suggestions. I now have it basically working. Poorly coded and still looking for bugs. The key I found was to use "stop", and not "off". Then feed back the last value of countdown timer back into the mytimeout using the JSON code. Using this type of method I am able to inject/add t…

Take a look at: how to share code or flow json

In your first function node you have: var value = global.get("PoolPumpStatus",msg.payload); msg = { payload:value }; return msg; The first line says you are getting PoolPumpStatus but I don't see you set it anywhere in the flow...

PoolPumpStatus comes from another flow I am running. It comes from a TP-Link HS100 smart switch and is a boolean (true/false). At the moment I am using the node-red-contrib-hs100, however there is now a better option in node-red-contrib-tplink-iot. The main improvement is in the handling of power e…
