Unable to pass a msg.payload as a parameter to a Particle Function #2

Closed Toby-Mills closed 3 years ago

Toby-Mills commented 3 years ago

I might be misunderstanding the Particle Function node, but it appears that the Argument property only supports a configured text string, rather than a value passed in as part of the message. Is it possible to rather use something like 'msg.payload'?

Have you yet figured it out how that works? I'm also not able to send e.g. a string value to a particle device via msg.payload.

Nope unfortunately not. I'm going to try just using a straight http request to the particle API, instead of using this library, which is a pity, because it seems to work pretty well otherwise.

Hi Toby, actually I figured it out yesterday: you just need to set a msg.argument property to the value you want to pass to the function :-) Regards, Max

That works like a charm! Thanks for your help Max!
