Hi, I am struggling to have a timer in dashboard. How to incorporate a Timer Switch input in node-red Dashboard ? Thanks, MD

Perhaps you can clarify exactly what you mean by 'Timer Switch'. Can you provide some more information? For example, are you trying to delay the switching off of a lamp after it has been turned on? In the meantime, I'll take a guess at what you are trying to do... You would like to start a timer to…

I need to input the time for my blinds to open for example 12:30 . I tried to use a slide to input Hour + minute but the result is bad. See picture below. The coffee pot is what i want to reach in a few years ( It´s amazing work ). For now i only need to add a numeric input to set time , hour +…

I was not happy with my attempts to use sliders for that so now I use two dropdowns, one for hours (00 to 24) and one for mins (00 to 55 in steps of 5 minutes). Then combine those to get the time.

What do mean with combine the two dropdowns ? Do you have an example ? This is the result of my "graphic" combine . I played with the Size and layout to combine the two. Is there a better way ? [Timer_pic1]

One of them is hours and one is minutes so they have to be combined to give hours and minutes. You could combine them immediately using a Join node, but I keep them separate and send them to mqtt so they can be fed back round to initialise the dropdowns on restart and when I need them I combine the…

:+1: Thanks So you are able to write/input form your controllers values in the dropdowns and in this way you use your controller to keep in memory what was the last value entered ? Right ? Are we able to write on UI text input or only on this UI dropdowns ? Is there anyothe way to keep in memor…

Not sure what you mean by 'controllers'. The values are retained by MQTT so they are provided on a system restart. If you are not using MQTT you probably should be, it is invaluable for handling system state. Each time a value is changed using one of the dropdowns it is sent to MQTT and remembere…

My controller is a PLC ( Programmable logic Controller ). And i use Modbus /TCP to pass binary information between node-red and the PLC . One day i will try MQTT. As my PLC retains the values i will try to use it to provide values on node-red restart. Are we able to write on UI text input or on…

Not quite sure what you mean - if you mean you want a switch that will start a timer if you look at Coffee Pot Timer it might give you some ideas.
