Inactive Upon Load, Method to detect

[soloam]

Hello, I have a switch that I use to turn on or off the faker, when the switch is on the faker is on, when the switch is off, the faker is off. The problem is the state "Inactive Upon Load" I don't have a method to detect if the node is in this state to resend the switch value! If the switch is on and for some reason (flow deploy for example) the node goes to "Inactive Upon Load" my faker stops and I don't have a visual indication of that! (important because if it's a faker I'm not home to check if it's working). I tried to use the status node to capture the state of the faker node, and if in that status send the switch state, but for some reason the status node does not capture that state!

So my recommendation:

• Send a status that the status node can capture.
• Send a payload with a error that can be analysed (in the same output or in other)
• Make a way to allow to activate the node without recalculating the intervals (that way I could just send the switch value without the node creating a brand new interval)

For me the best would be number 1! I think its the one with less side effects!

Thank You Best Regards

Hi @soloam,

Thanks for reaching out! Looks like this could be some kind of race-condition. I think I fixed it in v.1.7.1, which I just released.

Best regards C.
