Trigger Alarm If Element Zero in Array is Less Than -3

General

Hello All,

I need to trigger an alert if the element zero in the array is less than -3, I created a function but it is not displaying the alert. What I'm doing wrong? Thank you all.

After the first function msg.payload[0].IA does not exsist. Try msg.payload[0].data[0][0].y
Or move the wire to the alarm function to before the chart function.

Thank you. I tried it but it is not displaying in the debug window the number 1 when detects a value less than -3. It's not triggering the alarm.

Its returned 1 and 0 in msg.alarm for me.
But i have altered your code after I ran it, as the second if should be an if else, as only one can be true at a time. I also removed the returns from inside the ifs, as if none where true the function would never return.
returned message

I'm not sure If I understood you properly. This is the current function I have. Thank you.

var payload=msg.payload[0].data[0][0];
var alarm_flag=context.get("alarm_flag");
if(typeof alarm_flag=="undefined")
alarm_flag=false;

if (payload<-2 && !alarm_flag)
{
    alarm_flag=true;
    msg.alarm=1;
    context.set("alarm_flag",alarm_flag);
    return msg;
}
if (payload<=-2 && alarm_flag)
{
    alarm_flag=false;
    msg.alarm=0;
    context.set("alarm_flag",alarm_flag);
    return msg;
}

here i edited your flow.

Let me check. Thank you!

8

I got it! Thank you. However, if I have many values less than -3 in x amount of time. How can I trigger them?

9

I would ask how you receive this reading, as it may be easier to do it as you receive them.

Best to ask these questions at beginning, rather than keep moving the goal post.

10

Thanks! I understand. The idea is to get the reading from a raspberry pi using MQTT

11

If the value comes in via mqtt, You could join them and out put the join in x seconds, then just count the number of values under -3.
e,g.

Cool! Thank you! Let me try. Thanks a lot.
