Dynamic Fence #27

Closed sitan closed 2 years ago

sitan commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm using Home Assistant - with node-red - with a GPS in a Minivan/Bus.

I would like to be able set the fence dynamically. So, when we stop riding and arm the alarm, I would like to use an input of this node to set a perimeter around the current location.

I thought adding an extra check on the input message would suffice:

if (n.worldmap && msg.hasOwnProperty("payload") && msg.payload.hasOwnProperty("dynamicfence")) { //override node.mode node.mode = 'circle'; //set the node.centre to fence.centre node.centre.latitude = msg.payload.dynamicfence.lat node.centre.longitude = msg.payload.dynamicfence.long node.centre.radius = msg.payload.dynamicfence.radius } Is it possible to add this? ( I tried it, but could not import the adjusted node, due to a "Module not found"- error. With kind regards, Sitan van Sluis

Hi,

If you submit a Pull Request I'll have a look at it, but it will more than just this. It will also need to cover the following:

Hi, thanks for your reply. When reading your (valid) comments I am of the impression that I have to create an alternate version, without default settings / form input. I'll first search for another way to accomplish this. Thanks!

I've no idea how to edit your node to complete this request, but i would also love this feature for our RV.

Perhaps, start small and just implement circles for dynamic fences.

I want to be able to park the RV and then get notified if it moves. Already have all the inputs and this nodes output with this feature would be a perfect drop in. ;)
