UsertargetValue not working #31

Closed Vinisz closed 4 years ago

Vinisz commented 4 years ago

When I send a payload as described to change the temperature, nothing happens. I tried with the correct topic and some other things, but not working.

{ "topic" : "userTargetValue", "payload" : "20.0" }

Hi Vinisz,

I think node triggers schedule check on input message arrival. So if no Input messages, no "fire" :) Usually input message is "currentTemp" topic from a sensor or something.

if no currentTemp topic is received userTargetValue will only update the dashboard.

Hi @ivanovlk , just checked this and confirmed, it indeeds only fires on message arrival. I can live with that (just configured my sensors now to send report every 15 minutes, even if there is no change...) I think however it is better if at schedule time the module would check the temp at that time...
