Node Red - Time node in the past?

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi,

I use a time node in node red to trigger my irrigation automation. I have a helper where I can define the time I want to start this automation. It all worked fine until a week or so ago. When I change the helper to a different time, it triggers the automation as expected. But after that the node shows “in the past at:…”. I’m not sure what caused this change as I expected the time node to check the next 24 hours, and it also worked until shortly.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Does it trigger when it should?
Does it trigger when it shouldn’t?

I’m not sure I understand that part

It only triggers 1 time after I change the helper time. Before it triggers it sais something like “next datetime”. But afrer it triggers ones, it sais “in the past at datetime”.

So with the same setup it worker until a week ago and after it was triggered, it just showed the next day with the helpertime.

It seems to repeat for me however I am using a datetime helper and it shouldn’t. The date also won’t update, I can change the time but not the date.

I know changed the setting Repeat Daily to True, seems to work.

Strange thing is that I didn’t have it checked before as far as I remembered. Maybe the node was updated with this functionality?

That was it for me too, unchecking the boxes set it to the date and time. I believe it was there as I had it set for mon-fri. I set it up at the beginning of last winter +/- 9 months ago.
