NPM

This is a ultimate (Swiss-Army-Knife) Node-Red Timer based flow control with dusk, dawn (and variations) and much more. Additional you can get sun and moon position or to control a flow by sun or moon position. It is ideal for usage of control smart home, but also for all other time based flow control. There is also a roller blind control node and a clock timer node. The blind control node can determine the position of the roller shutter by time or position of the sun. The timer can send different payloads depending on the time.

nodes

Table of contents

Preconditions

These nodes need at least NodeJS Version 8.0 and Node-Red with Version 1.0! Any early Version of Node-Red will not work!

Installation

npm install node-red-contrib-sun-position

General

Saving resources

The nodes are designed to do not calculate time events with every arriving message or with an interval every x time. This is to be able to handle a huge amount of messages also on even on computers with low resources.

second based accuracy

The nodes are designed to be accurate to seconds. This means it was designed to turn on/off at exact given second. Other timers often work using intervals where they check your schedule only once a minute or even less. This means when you want something to come on at 08:00am, it may actually not come on until 30 seconds later. This nodes does not have this problem, it will come on at exactly 08:00:00am.

base functions for all (or the most of the nodes)

Implemented Nodes

  • within-time a switch node, which forwards a message only within a certain period of time.The beginning and the end can also be sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise or any other sun times.
  • time-inject a inject node, which can send a message on a specified time, which can also be a sun or moon time.
  • sun-position a node which calculates sun position. Can be used as a switch node for specific azimuth of the sun.
  • moon-position a node which calculates moon position and phases. Can be used as a switch node for specific azimuth of the sun.

sun-position

The node calculates the current sun position on any input message. This node is compatible to node-red-contrib-blindcontroller.

sun-position - Node settings

sun-position-settings

  • Position connects to the central configuration node, which contains the current position, but also handles internal shared functions
  • Topic defines the topic of the first output
  • position container here you can define multiple lower and upper limits for azimuth. If the calculated value of the azimuth is inside the defined limit the input message will send to the associated output.
  • Name name of the Node
sun-position - Node Input

The Input is for triggering the calculation. If limits are defined the input message will send to the output associated to the limit.

It is possible that the incoming message have properties msg.latitude and msg.longitude (or msg.lat and msg.lon) defined to override settings in configuration node. The configuration Node still needs to be configured properly.

time-inject - Node settings

time-inject-settings

  • Position connects to the central configuration node, which contains the current position, but also handles internal shared functions

  • Payload defines the payload of the message object send to the output

  • Topic defines the topic of the send message

  • Time An optional property that can be configured when the inject node should emit a message on that timestamp.

    • if a time is choose additional settings available image
    • Offset An optional property which is only available if an time is chosen. The offset can be a positive or negative and defines a time offset to the chosen time.
    • valid days There can be defined on which days a msg should be emitted.
    • special days There can be defined if the msg should only be emitted on even or odd days.
    • valid month There can be defined on which month a msg should be emitted.
    • valid date range There can be defined if the message should be only emitted between two dates. The defined year will be ignored. There are two options:
      • starting day.month is less than end day.month - then the start and end date will be every time the current year
      • end day.month is less than start day.month then the message will be send this year from 1.1. to end month and year and from starting date to end month and day next year
  • Property optional here can be defined a condition under which a alternate time should be used.

  • Alternate time optional defines an alternate start time which will be used if the condition applies. This can be used for different times for example of holidays/weekend.

  • Additional Inject on Start If this checkbox is set the inject node can emit the message on Node-Red Start or on any deploy of this node. There can be defined a delay after the emit should be done. This can be useful for initializing any flow.

  • Set additional With this selection you can

    • set global, flow context or set additional property of the message object (if the property is payload the payload will be overridden.)
    • for any timestamp properties like timestamp, sun time, moon time there are a lot of possibilities to influence this. You can add an offset or select the days wherefore the timestamp should be calculated. The output format could be Unix, ECMA timestamp, object or the time difference between timestamp and emit the message. This is useful to to send a payload of true on sunset with an additional message property as on time with the seconds until sunrise. see Possible Node Output Formats for possible information
time-inject - Node Input

It has only a button as input, where the massage could injected into a flow manually.

time-inject - Node Output

The output is a message with the defined payload and topic in the settings.

time-comp - Node settings

A simple node that routes messages depending on the time. If the current time falls within the range specified in the node configuration, the message is routed to output 1. Otherwise the message is routed to output 2.

time-comp-settings

  • Position connects to the central configuration node, which contains the current position, but also handles internal shared functions
  • Input defines the input parameter for the time stamp
    • parse format defines the format for the input parameter, more information see input parse formats.
    • Offset allows to define a positive or negative offset to the given Input Time.
  • compare with here can be defined various definitions of times to which the input time should be compared.
    • operator Drop down to define operator
    • compare type allows to define what parts of the time string should be compared. Default is a comparison of the complete timestamp. But it is possible to only compare a pat like the only the year.
    • time defines where the time to which should be compared comes from
    • parse format defines the format for the time to compare, more information see input parse formats.
    • Offset allows to define a positive or negative offset to the given time.
    • limitation here it is possible to additionally define a parameter. if defined this comparison will only be made if the conditions matches.
  • result allows to write the Input time to a parameter in a different format. Without defining any compare with, the node allows by only defining input and result parameter a simply time format conversation.

time-span

A enhanced node for time span calculation and time span comparison.

time-span - Node settings

A simple node that routes messages depending on the time. If the current time falls within the range specified in the node configuration, the message is routed to output 1. Otherwise the message is routed to output 2.

time-span-settings

  • Position connects to the central configuration node, which contains the current position, but also handles internal shared functions
  • Input 1 defines the first input parameter for the time span calculation
    • parse format defines the format for the first input parameter, more information see input parse formats.
    • Offset allows to define a positive or negative offset to the given Input 1 Time.
  • Input 2 defines the second input parameter for the time span calculation
    • parse format defines the format for the second input parameter, more information see input parse formats.
    • Offset allows to define a positive or negative offset to the given Input 2 Time.
  • compare with here can be defined various time spams to which the time span between timestamp of input 1 and input 2 should be compared.
    • operator Drop down to define operator for comparison
    • time defines a number to which should be the timespan be compared
    • time type the unit of the given time
  • result ** as result of an incoming message, data could be written to that destination. This could be a message property, a flow or a global context.
    • result value defines the value which should be written to the result destination. Could be the timestamp, one of the Input times or any other time/data. For timestamp or times the output format or maybe an offset could be defined.

Without defining any comparison, the node allows by only defining inputs and result a simply timespan calculation.

blind-control

blind-control

Used to control a blind with many possibilities. This can be time-dependent and it can calculate the blind position based on the current position of the sun to limit the sun light To limit the sunlight on the floor of a window.

blind-control

clock-timer

clock-timer

Used to control a flow time based with many possibilities. This can be used to switch something which is time-dependent (e.g. Christmas lights).

clock-timer

CHANGELOG

TODO

  • add possibility to select input/output timezone
  • Add new node time-control as a stripped down node of the blind control with only rules for control other devices like dimmer and thermostats
