Current Time
Current time can be used to get the current time into the system.
It can be combined with many different nodes, and can be used to timestamp notifications, among other things.
The node is very simple and only provides an output with a timestamp at this time.
The node is based on Danish time, and has built-in features that automatically take summer/winter time into account.
Note that it does not update live in the flow, but typically only once a minute. The data that comes from the current time is processed, but this is to avoid updating the flow too often.
Add Time
Add time can be used to create an offset, for example, it can be an hour added or an hour subtracted.
You can add by typing a positive number and finish the end by choosing between seconds, minutes, hours or days.
You can also subtract time by putting a - before the number.
Before
Before can give a boolean output if the time is before a selected time. It returns true if the time is before and false if the time is after.
There are 2 connectors on the node, one for time, and one for is before. For example, you can put a current time into time and the timestamp from your device into is before. Then you will get a true if the time is before.
After
The after node works in the same way as the before node, and can be used to tell if the time is after a selected time. It returns false if the time is not after, and true if the time is after.
There are 2 connectors on the node, one for time, and one for is after. For example, you can put a current time into time and the timestamp from your device into is after. Then you will get a true if the time is after.
Between
Between can be used to check if the time is between 2 inputs, if it is it gives a boolean output with either true or false. You enter the current time with a current time per hour, and then you can use a value node to create a timestamp for input 1 and input 2.
Select Time
Select time can be used to select part of a timestamp, as output it will generate a value, and can be used with greater than, less than and is equal if you want something to trigger at a specific time of day or month.
Pulse
Pulse can be used to give a short pulse if a signal goes true. It can for example be used together with our GT-1000 PRO which has a buzzer output, if you want to make a test flow that makes the node pulse briefly when you press the button.
Sun Info
Our sun info node can be used to provide a timestamp for sunrise and sunset.
The node is perfect for controlling outdoor lighting, and can easily replace a twilight relay.
The node only needs to have longitude and latitude as input, and thus provides a timestamp that can be triggered with select time.
You can find longitude and latitude on the following.
Longitude and latitude must be entered via a value node.
Delay
The Delay node delays a value or signal by a specified amount of time.
This node can be used to postpone an action in a flow, for example if an alarm must be activated first 10 seconds after an event or something has to go through before something else can start.
The Delay node can take all kinds of values inside the Flow.
