Hi,
I started using Node-Red one year ago.
It's really a pleasure to use it.
I would like to optimize my project for one aspect and I don't find how to do it by myself, so I expect someone could give me a good idea.
On my Dashboard I have a screen where are shown regular information of each node. It's an easy way to have the status of each of them. For each node I get information from an mqtt input.
Right now, I duplicate flows for each node, that is a really poor basic method to do it.
I would like to put a generic flow as a subflow, not to have to duplicate many times the same things. I used some subflows for other needs without any problem.
On this one, I would like to give to the subflow input the name of the node to use to get is status. I was looking for environment variables or similar principal but I don't find the right way.
Here I give you an example of things I would like to to inside a subflow.
Hope to be clear enough?
regards
