I also added a status showing the from and to. This will help people see what is actually being used. i.e you add a random node then attach an inject to send msg.from as 4, you would think the result would be between 4 and 10 but since you did not clear out the 'From' value in the node, the result is from 1 to 10
node-red-node-random
A Node-RED node that when triggered generates a random number between two values.
Install
Either use the Manage Palette option in the Node-RED Editor menu, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-node-random
Usage
A simple node to generate a random number when triggered.
If set to return an integer it can include both the low and high values.
min <= n <= max - so selecting 1 to 6 will return values 1,2,3,4,5 or 6.
If set to return a floating point value it will be from the low value, up to, but
not including the high value. min <= n < max - so selecting 1 to 6 will return values 1 <= n < 6 .
You can dynamically pass in the 'From' and 'To' values to the node using msg.to and/or msg.from. NOTE: hard coded values in the node always take precedence.
Note: This returns numbers - objects of type number.
