@drmibell Hi Mike If your a bit bored at the moment how about a facility to link gates together - like link nodes can be? This is to save having crossed wires (or actually using link nodes of course) to use one inject toggle to open/close two or more gates at once [image] I realise this could …

Hi Simon, Bored, yes, but probably not that bored. On the other hand, I may have had a similar request about a year-and-a-half ago involving node-red-contrib-simple-gate. If you are bored enough to look at this thread and chase down the links, you could tell me whether this is the feature you would…

[image] cymplecy: I realise this could easily be tremendously complex to code for little gain :slight_smile: so feel free to say get lost straight away :slight_smile: But it would be very cool :slight_smile: It isn't possible for contrib nodes to do that. The link nodes can do it because the…

[image] cymplecy: Computer says no... Computer is right. I never published to npm, for the reasons discussed in the thread I linked. You will have to download from Github . Sorry.

Or .... npm install drmibell/node-red-contrib-remote-gate To install direct from github
