Today I installed HA and try to make my first Que in Node-RED.
I want to switch on 2 neo coolcams 1 hour before sunset and switch them off at 24:00 hour.
I did set up this que. Using the timestamp injector by hand is working.
But how to trigger this que without timestamp? so that the neo will switch on at 60 minutes before sunset and off at 24 hr?
As usually said, there are many ways to do it. here how I would do.
You need bitimer or schedex nodes. install them from pallette. I perefer Schedex, it send on and off payloads at set times (hh:mm or based on sun position) you can also set offset.
your schedex node would look like this:
dear serkank,
Thanks for the answer.
I do see a bigtimer tile in Node-RED, but don’t see anything like a schedex tile?
EDIT:
I did install the tile now it works.
Thanks!
