Node-red timers to replace all in-timers? #11

Open structure7 opened 7 years ago

Timing sprinklers in app is a pain... put it all on Node-Red bigTimer?

Then use MQTT for on/off feedback to NR (for everything... manual and auto running).

*** Maybe just need to hard-code a "soft start" mode that works no matter how the sprinklers are started (auto or manual in app).

Pretty much there. Soft start/stop is hard-coded. Not sure how to (reliably) get from Blynk app to Node-RED... Blynk webhook node can crash everything. Probably have Blynk write something on button state change, then Node-RED pick up with HTTP API and do its thing/
