Is there a way to have a template updated once, then for calls following the initial load just return the same data?
I am attempting to have a schedule kick off at 12am, gather data then update the said template. When other calls to the http end point are called, I would like to just have that cache data returned. Super new to node red, sorry if this question is super basic.
You can store the data returned by the Widget Data node in Context using a Change node.
You can then either update the Template node to retrieve values from Context (check its sidebar help for how to do that), or you could add a Change node ahead of it to get the data from Context and copy it back onto the message where the Template node expects it to be.
