[Solved: use MQTT] Pass messages to unlinked sequences?

Is there a way to send messages to a “queue” that can be later picked up by a sequence to send out?

Use Case:

  • I’m integration Assistant Relay
  • I noticed there’s a relay limit, or recommended limit.
  • I want to add a sequence that sends messages to a queue
  • Then assistant relay sequence will pick that up, pay attention to the relay limits, and send the message out.

I’m extremely new to NodeRed. Still a lot to learn …

Never mind, I figured it out: I can send messages through MQTT!

For those that look for this:

  • Use an mqtt output node - either set your topic there, or from the payload
  • Use an mqtt input node to read the messages from the queue and process them.

Using this method, I can pull out all the messages and set rate limit before sending them off to Assistant Relay. :smiley:
