Hi Everyone,
I’m using ‘bigtimer’ node in the Node-Red for curtains. The ‘Off Time’ is somehow not working. I attached a ‘debug’ node to it and can confirm that no ‘on’ message is being generated at that time. Other 3 timeslots are working fine.
Please refer to the screenshot. The problematic timer is marked in red.
Any help is really appreciated.
Anyone ? Please help if any ideas …
I don’t use the node but the 2 times overlap. I know it’s set to send a constant 1 minute drip of either on or off. The second time period requires it to be on during the first time periods off.
I’m using one-off message.
It fires one ‘on’ message at Sunrise+30min and then another ‘on’ message at 8:45 am.
It does fire one ‘off’ message at 5.30 pm but the one ‘off’ message doesn’t work at 12.30 pm.
Your looking at these as 2 separate timers, they are not. It is 2 rules for one timer.
The first rule tells the timer to send on between sunrise and 12:30pm.
The second rule tells the timer to send on between 8:45am and 5:30pm.
The second rule takes precedence over the first.
So at 12:30pm the second rule tells it, it must be on and therefore cannot be off.
aha ! Understood !
Thanks a lot, Sir ! Really appreciated …
