<h3>Details</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In RBE mode this node will block until the <code>msg.payload</code> is
|
|
|
|
|
different to the previous one. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In Deadband modes the incoming payload must contain a parseable number and is
|
|
|
|
|
output only if greater than + or - the band gap away from a previous value.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Deadband also supports % - only sends if the input differs by more than x% of the original value.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In Narrowband mode the incoming payload is blocked if it is more than + or - the band gap
|
|
|
|
|
away from the previous value. Useful for ignoring outliers from a faulty sensor for example.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Both Deadband and Narrowband allow comparison against either the previous valid output value, thus
|
|
|
|
|
ignoring any values out of range; or the previous input value, which resets the set point, thus allowing
|
|
|
|
|
gradual drift (deadband), or a step change (narrowband).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Note:</b> This works on a per <code>msg.topic</code> basis. This means that a single rbe node can
|
|
|
|
|
handle multiple different topics at the same time.</p>
