Hi there, how can I reset (meaning stop) the timeout of the node wait until, meaning a way to cancel the given timeout.
Thanks for any help - JJ
Thanks, already seen, but how to set “property set to any value the node”? I am not sure how to set the property in a payload. Do you have any example? Thanks - JJ

Would you be so kind and send me a picture on the payload of your “cancel wait” trigger. Could not manage this on my side. Tried:
no success, Tx - JJ
Copy the code (below the image) I posted and import it into your node-red instance - you will see the details (I tested it to confirm it works).
Thanks, still not possible to run it. For sure had to adjust the sensorname, but no way. Could you plase have a look into my code below, tx - JJ

When you select a node, on the right where the debug panel is, is section labeled help. This will explain how to use the node. For the wait node it tells you
reset
If the received message has this property set to any value the node will be set to inactive and the timeout cleared.
What does this mean.
If the received message has this property.
A message property is it’s name/path.
msg.payload the message property is payload
msg.data the message property is data
We need the message property to be reset so we have so far
next
has this property set to any value
So this tells us we can use any value with this message.
Any of the above will work to reset the node.
Thank you so much for your great explanation, I was struggling with the property! Now I understand it and the flow works! Thanks. JJ
