What's the best possibility to show productivity of an input (1/0 or True/False) in a chart in DB2. For DB1 there was a [ui-state-trail](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui-state-trail) which would be perfect.  
Any ideas/workarounds?  
Im quite new to node red and have no exp with java script, so happy for detailed solutions.  
@joepavitt here is your marking!

Thanks @mikahaller - just to be sure, they kind of data you have here would be something like an array of objects like:

```auto
[{
    date: "<date-here>",
    state: 1/0
}, ...]

```

or, are they just entries without a timestamp, i.e. `[0, 1, 1, 1, 0]`?

I am eagerly waiting for @hotNipi to consider making this for DB2. one of my whole project depends on this. I am stalling moving from DB1 to DB2 just for this reason.

They are just entries as integers (Int16). Time is "given" by software at "arriving". I'm no specialist so i don't know the vocabulary but i think you get it 😃

Yep, I got it, so, between two points - does that time _matter_? i.e. does it need to be visualised at all? Or could we just visualise the state, and ignore the timestamps?

yeah, it matters! But i don't need to see how much time a status held on, but it needs to be visualised.  
but it wouldnt need to check regularly, it can "just" be that it reacts to changes. If theres a "1" or "True" it is green, and it is green until there is a "0" or "False". Then it becomes red, until input is "1" or "True" again. And so on. See picture for example how it would be perfect.

hope i could explain it?
