@mschaeffler/node-red-logic

Nodes to perform boolean and arithmetic operations on input signals.

If the msg property invalid is present in the message, all nodes ignore the message.

Install

$ npm install @mschaeffler/node-red-logic

Boolean Nodes

image of example flow

to bool

Converts payload to a bool value:

type	value	is converted to
bool	false	false
	true	true
number	0	false
	1	true
string	false	false
	0	false
	off	false
	true	true
	1	true
	on	true

Input

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
payload		input value.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload	boolean	bool value of payload.

Parameters

config	type	description
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
Status	boolean	shows the actual value as a node status.

or

Combines two or more boolean vales with the or operator.

The input values are converted as described in the to bool node.

Input

The different inputs are differentiated by topics.

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
topic	string	name of the input channel.
payload	boolean	input value for `topic`.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload	boolean	result of `or` of all input topics.
count	number	number of data elements.

Parameters

config	type	description
Topic	string	defines the topic for the output message.
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
min. Data	number	min. amount of topics to generate an output.

and

Combines two or more boolean vales with the and operator.

The input values are converted as described in the to bool node.

Input

The different inputs are differentiated by topics.

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
topic	string	name of the input channel.
payload	boolean	input value for `topic`.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload	boolean	result of `and` of all input topics.
count	number	number of data elements.

Parameters

config	type	description
Topic	string	defines the topic for the output message.
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
min. Data	number	min. amount of topics to generate an output.

Integer Nodes

$image of example flow$

counter

A node that just count the messages.

Output

msg.	type	description
count	number	number of messages.

to number

Converts payload to a number.

Input

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
payload		input value.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload	number	number value of payload.

Parameters

config	type	description
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
Status	boolean	shows the actual value as a node status.

reduce

Combines two or more streams of data (topics) into one single value.

Each stream can be debounced by arithmatic mean.

Input

The different inputs are differentiated by topics.

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
topic	string	name of the input channel.
payload	number	input value for `topic`.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload	number	result of combining of all input topics.
count	number	number of data elements.

Parameters

config	type	description
Topic	string	defines the topic for the output message.
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
min. Mean	number	min. amount of values for the arithmatic mean of one topic.
max. Mean	number	max. amount of values for the arithmatic mean of one topic.
min. Data	number	min. amount of topics to generate an output.
Algorithm	string	algorithm to combine the values.

Algorithms

algorithm	description
add	ads up the `topic` channels
mean	averages the `topic` channels
prod	multiplies the `topic` channels
min	gets the minimal value of the `topic` channels
max	gets the maximal value of the `topic` channels

statistics

Calculate statistical values of one or more data streams.

Each stream can be debounced by arithmatic mean.

If the msg property invalid is present in the message, all nodes ignore the message.

Input

The different inputs are differentiated by topics.

The message property to be used as payload can be defined with the Property property.

msg.	type	description
topic	string	name of the input channel.
payload	number	input value for `topic`.

Output

msg.	type	description
payload		same as in input message.
stats.count	number	number of data elements.
stats.min number	number	minimal value.
stats.max number	number	maximal value.
stats.average number	number	average value.
stats.deviation number	number	standard deviation.
stats.variation number	number	coefficient of variation.

Parameters

config	type	description
Property	string	defines the message property to be used as payload.
delta time	number	time frame to collect the data for the analysis.
min. Data	number	min. amount of data points to generate an output.

Edge Nodes
