Question about passing data #17

Closed phreaq closed 4 years ago

phreaq commented 4 years ago

I'm using the Broadlink nodes to turn off and on my ACs, and I found some code here and there to get me what I need:

//Insert learning code here var data = [1,2,3,...]; msg.payload={ //"mac":"MAC address of your broadlink rm", //"host":"IP address of your broadlink rm", "action":"send", "data":data, "repeat":2 };

return msg;

My question is, what's the significance of the 'repeat' value? What affect does it have?

TIA

The repeat value was originally used to repeat sending the data stream to the device. However I think there were some issues with it and it's now no longer used and is stripped from the code. So you no longer need to include that .
