Also uses the suncalc module to allow use of dawn and dusk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dawn and dusk times can be offset both positively (+ve) for minutes after dawn
|
|
|
|
|
or dusk, and negatively (-ve) for minutes before dawn or dusk..

|
|
|
The output emits a `msg.payload` of *1* or *0* every minute depending on
|
2015-11-02 18:24:27 +01:00
|
|
|
whether the current time is during the selected on time or off time.

If you just need the transitions from 0->1 or 1->0 then follow this node with a `filter (RBE)` node.
