3 input OR #2

Closed gadjet closed 7 years ago

gadjet commented 7 years ago

Hi, I've got three Bigtimer node running and each outputs a 0 or a 1 every minute and I fedd the thre outputs into a 3 input OR node but it doesn't work it stays at unknown, if I feed the same three output into a debug node it works and states true, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

All three connected outputs must have different topics, have you made sure that is the case?

gadjet commented 7 years ago

I will double check but I assumed if the debug node worked then then the logic node would work with the same inputs

PerMalmberg commented 7 years ago

The debug node only looks at the payload, these components needs to separate the inputs to function as intended.

OK, the topic is always "status" from each bigtimer so this won't work for me.

Thanks

Change the topic on the incoming messages, there are components for that.

What you are experiencing is the problem with Node-Red - only a single input. My components are a workaround for that, but they need to be able to separate incoming messages otherwise they will all look to come from the same source (topic).

Yes, thanks, I was thinking along the same lines myself.

Took your advice and changed each topic and all works well now. Thanks
