A collection of useful nodes to help with time based automation.
Despite the large number of timer nodes available for node red i never found one i was satisfied with. Some were far too simple and others way too complicated. In the end i made my own which are indended to be reliable & easy to use with a clean design.
Timer Node
Daily on/off timer node that supports fixed times of the day or sun events. Useful for setting timers such as lights that go on when its dark and off of at a fixed time.
Time Check Node
Time check node for testing if a time (default current time) is within the set range including sun events. The original message is forwarded to different outputs based on pass/fail.
Schedule Node
Set events for a weekly schedule using a visual calendar. Useful for schedules such as heating where you have a morning time, evening time and these may vary at the weekend.
Activity Node
Handle time based activity events with timeouts and extensions. Useful for controlling lights based on motion or similar.
If you like/use this node, coffee makes me happy and it keeps me coding when i should be sleeping...
