provides report-by-exception (RBE) and deadband capability.
Install
-------
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install
npm install node-red-node-rbe
Usage
-----
A simple node to provide report by exception (RBE) and deadband function
- only passes on data if it has changed.
###RBE mode
Outputs the **msg** if the **msg.payload** is different to the previous one.
Works on numbers and strings. Useful for filtering out repeated messages of the
same value. Saves bandwidth, etc...
###Deadband mode
In deadband mode the incoming payload should contain a parseable *number* and is
output only if greater than + or - the *band gap* away from the previous output.
Will accept numbers, or parseable strings like "18.4 C" or "$500"
