Suggestion: Connection status on secondary output #46

Closed Sungtroll closed 3 years ago

It would be nice to have a way of getting the status light status available on a secondary output.

Example: Connection Status

I suggest that you use the Node-Red status node instead. This is intended to report status changes for selected nodes in your flow. See the attached screenshot. image

I got it to work with the status node and the browser now speak out status if status changed and log to text file.

I want to share with you how to get the modern browser based on chromium to stay alive to get alerts trough node-red ui. If not using this settings the tab will be unloaded or go to sleep and stop notifying if tab is not in focus. I have reported it as unwanted behavior and hopefully changes will be made to make browser reliable for notifications even if tab is not in focus.

Here is the temporary fix: HOW TO: Make the dashboard run at all time in Chrome and Edge beta image
