Hi,
I'm relatively new to this, so apologies in advance.
I'm polling an API and storing a few time stamps and converting them to Unix to do basic calculations. What I would like to do is have an I/O triggered when the current time is 24 hours prior to the stored timestamp.
I'm able get the values and see them in the debug nodes but storing them to call or compare is proving to be difficult:
sysTime = Date.now()
startTimeTwentyFour = msg.TFhourStart
while (msg.eventid !== null)
if (sysTime >= startTimeTwentyFour){
trigger = 1;
} else {
trigger = 0;}
return msg;
I'm probably doing something obviously wrong, but can't seem to figure it out. How can I pass the trigger value??
