Re-emit output at timed intervals #37

Closed JasonSwindle closed 3 years ago

JasonSwindle commented 4 years ago

Howdy,

I'm looking to move off of BigTimer, but I cannot seem to figure out how to have eztimer re-emit the output at a timed internal like BigTimer does. Is this built in or do I need to use something else to re-trigger eztimer?

mrgadget commented 4 years ago

Hey. This isn't something I've got in there at this stage. Interested to know your use case?

Keen to try and keep the interface as clean/basic as possible, but also nice to support as many use-cases as possible too.

JasonSwindle commented 4 years ago

Howdy,

Thanks for the reply. In these flows, I control lights that need to be always on:

and with the re-emit function, if someone turns it off, it will turn back on (barring no on unplugs the light). Right now I need to keep using BigTimer or place in some type of loop function before eztimer.

What I would like to see

An Re-emit output every <SECONDS> function in eztimer.

Hey - would appreciate if you could give this a shot and report back before I push it out to the wider user-base.

It's not in NPM yet, so you'll need to grab index.js and index.html and replace them in the node on your system.

Thanks!

I will give it a test today. Thank you. :)

Howdy,

Currently testing now. So far it is working great (See image attached). Two early feedbacks:

Reads oddly. Maybe something like "Setting this to zero (0) this disable this setting"?







Re-emit every 1m (debug window) image

Totally agree. Late night is my excuse. Will re-word, and perhaps a pointer to the help pane for formatting.

What about: Checkbox to enable, which shows/hides the interval textbox accordingly? Could perhaps get away without the helper text then? I'm keen to keep it as uncluttered as possible.

Checkbox would be perfect, as it enabled the extra feature, and only then do you need to show the helper text. 🙂

A long time coming but.... 1.2.5 published to npm and pulled through to Node-RED packages.
