Hi I am looking for a node that can pass or block depending on the day of week and between two times and if the week is odd or even. A switch Node would work if it had selections for odd or even week numbers and select a time frame for example from 11Am to 1Pm.

[image] Gnindit: Just seems like a waste of resources to have a timer counting when I could have my trigger that comes a couple of times a day and then just check if it is Wednesday odd week and time between 11am and 1pm. Well you can write a function node to do that and pass the message on o…

[image] Colin: Well you can write a function node to do that and pass the message on or not as appropriate. Google for javascript Date to see how to get the current time and from that the day of week, week number etc. @Gnindit , as Colin mentioned above one of the things you will need to code …

[image] Andrei: javascript library called moment.js Or you can use the moment node to insert the week number to your msg before processing.

How about this flow for simplicity rather than than using the "sub flow" as in one of the examples: [{"id":"4578d4b3.eef034","type":"inject","z":"c7041248.e87fd","name":"","topic":"","payload":"A","payloadType":"str","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":140,"y":930,"wires":[["e…

[image] Colin: just check if it is Wednesday odd week and time between 11am and 1pm. Right, it can be as simple as you mentioned. The function code would looks like: var moment = global.get('moment'); let myWeek = moment().week(); let myDay = moment().day(); let myHour = moment().hour(); …

[image] Trying_to_learn: This uses the TRAFFIC node Thanks, I would need to install the traffic node to test this flow.

[image] Gnindit: wednesday (odd week for example) and time between 10am and 1pm. Another flow but this time using the context to store a "semaphore" [r-02] [{"id":"2da73fb3.09bad","type":"tab","label":"Flow 5","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"88636e86.ec34a","type":"function","z":"2da73fb…

Andrei, I didn't mean the post in a bad way. But really, you could just put in the FUNCTION node and do what the SUB-FLOW did anyway. As I said: I am not sure exactly why there is/was a sub-flow used anyway, other than to give the node a better name. But really that is not true either, as all …

[image] Andrei: var moment = global.get('moment'); let myWeek = moment().week(); let myDay = moment().day(); let myHour = moment().hour(); LET..... That takes me back a long time to I think a very early version of BASIC, where you had to prefix variables with the LET command. Interesti…

let (not LET) is a fairly recent addition to javascript, and earlier versions of node.js did not support it which is why it has only recently started to be used with node red. Basically it is what var should have been in the first place but initially javascript was a very simple language and I imag…
