scheduler status (on/off) #63

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for the node, it is very useful.

I have a question, I would like to be able to save the state of the timer in a variable, if it is activated or not. When I give the clock to deactivate it, it does take me out for the payload payload.settings.disabledDevices = "0" image

but when I activate it, the array comes out empty image

Can you edit the code so that in this second case I get a "1" or something similar?

Thanks

Hi @Ataraxiall,

the disabledDevices array stores all the devices that are currently disabled. Therefore, when you activate a device it is no longer a disabledDevice and is removed from the array. 0: "0" in the case above means that the first element in the array that is disabled has the index zero. 0: "1"means that the second device is currently disabled.

If you want to keep track about a device status the simplest way would be to set a flow/global variable directly after the device output, for example like this:
