Re: Power Master II wattmeter flow

 

Hi Dave,

I have the original Power Master wattmeter. Will your new NR flow work for
it? It will be interesting to try to see if it does.

73,

Kirk, K6KAR

Hi all

Forgot I ordered an Array Solutions Power Master II wattmeter 5 months ago
(they were back ordered). It arrives today and I started writing a flow for
Node Red. Should have it completed by tomorrow. Works well in Node Red.

Hi all

I started writing a basic Node Red flow for the K4D. Looking for ideas on what features to add.

Re: Getting started with Node Red

 

Glenn,

I don't have an answer to your question as I have not looked at the flow.?

I am going to offer a different solution that you can feel free to ignore. I elected to get my WX data from an online service and use Node Red to display the data on my dashboard. It eliminates the need for local sensors and, in my case, since I'm sheltered, wind data would be very inaccurate.

You can check out the data for Sydney at the link below.



Use requires registering to get an API key (no cost). This would also allow you to pull data from different locations which might be useful based on your QRZ page. If you'd like, I'll share the flow.

Hey there?
Great group here
I am taking the advice and starting small before i get onto bigger things
So i have started with taking the weather data from an sdr dongle
I can get it to display no problem but it mixes the values
i have been trying to use RTL-433 as the inject to display weather on my shack display.
The problem i have is the temperature value coming from the SDR is mixing multiple sensors.
So the same display rotates the different temps from the different sensors .
the sensors have different channels and different ID's. if i try and block the ID it seems to block everything
one sensor is?id:?339746605 the other id:?-2139593976
i thought the obvious way would be to block the alternate ID
maybe its too late in the night but i just cant seem to divert one sensor?
i have attached the map?
any tips would be good
I have been trying everything but my json knowledge is poor.
I tried functions/gates/seperate switches/filters but cant think of the correct way to do it?

Also, and to correct my first response. ?I just noticed the id text were blue in the debug window. ?This means they are a "number" variable type. ?If they were red text, they would be a variable type of "string".

In the switch node, you must specify the type of variable you are using. ?Here is a corrected screenshot using a variable type of "number". ?My first response showed a variable type of "string".

Re: Getting started with Node Red

 

Glenn

An easy method is to use the "Switch" node.

I see the the "id" comes thru as "msg.payload.id". ? FYI, if you expand the JSON by clicking the small arrow next to the object in the debug window, you can see a more straightforward path to the desired variable. ?Click on the "copy path" to move that into the switch node, "Property" box.

The switch node can use "msg.payload.id" property, to only allow the full object to flow, only if the value meets the value set in the selection. ?Here is an example using your data. ?Each sensor's variable will flow to the respective output of the switch as msg.payload, or whatever you have set up in the source nodes.

Re: Background color problem

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I¡¯ve been trying to figure this out. What is your Node Red version and dashboard node version?

?

Node Red version can be found by clicking on three horizontal lines in upper right of editor. Current version is 2.2.2. To check dashboard node click the three horizontal lines and select Manage Palette. Scroll down to node-red-dashboard. Current version is 3.1.7 If older, there is a button to upgrade it.

?

To upgrade the Node Red version run this script for a Pi, go to this page and run the bash script from a terminal window on Pi.

Hi Adrian,

Regarding the sliders, my FT-847 doesn't have that capability, and the Demo FT-2000 doesn't seem to actually send data when the sliders are moved.? ??

If you could capture traffic on your loopback address while you "slide" each slider, that will provide the data I need.

When I capture data, I apply a "frame" filter in Wireshark and look for the words "get" and "set".? ?(i.e. frame 00:65:00:74:00:20:00, which finds all the "et ").

Post any get and set calls, and I'll add these in.? ? Or send me the capture file. :)

Regards,


Greg VE9GFI

Adrian, you can also copy/paste multiple nodes by selecting multiple nodes. Either hold left mouse button down and drag mouse to select nodes of interest or select multiple nodes ny holding the control key down. Combination of the two also work, select a group with the mouse drag then unselected unwanted nodes with control. BTW, Node interconnects between selected nodes are preserved on the paste.

I¡¯ll post the site section of mine later tonight.
What are you running Node Red server on?

I didn¡¯t change any fonts. I replaced the &nbsp with a space.

I¡¯m using a Pi 4. I think it has something to do with your layout. I know my dash is set to 48x48. Will check rest later.

First, thanks for taking a look at this. I'm also using the "Node Red Theme Everywhere" setting.

Here's the contents of the Site section in the json file:
"site": {
??????????? "name": "Node-RED Dashboard",
??????????? "hideToolbar": "false",
??????????? "allowSwipe": "false",
??????????? "lockMenu": "false",

??????????????? "px": 0,
??????????????? "py": 0
??????????? }
??????? }
??? },

Using a group width of 3 instead of 4 results in the Group Heading "Camp K Switch" word-wrapping onto two lines, and the same for some of the button labels. Apparently you must also have to change the text size to make it fit. Is that what you did in your picture?

If I use a space in the button labels, the label wraps to the next line. Even if I enter "a b", the a is on the first line and the b is on the next line. So that's why I used &nbsp instead of a space in the labels.

I have looked at the site with Firefox, Edge, and Chromium (on the Pi). Firefox and Edge render the page identically. Chromium requires a different number of spaces to line the buttons up, but it acts like the other browsers in that the button is placed immediately to the right of the text and is not right-justified.
