## README

A simple node indicating if it's day or night.

The node sets: <code>msg.payload</code> to boolean <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> payloads.

It also sets a global <code>isNight</code> accessible in all flows.

It sends a <code>true</code> payload if it is dark and <code>false</code> if not dark.

The second output emits only on the transition between night to day or day to night.


Here are some examples:
```json
