node-red-node-random

A Node-RED node that when triggered generates a random number between two values.

Install

Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm install node-red-node-random

Usage

A simple node to generate a random number when triggered.

If integer mode is selected (default) it will return an integer between and including the two values given - so selecting 1 to 6 will return values 1,2,3,4,5 or 6.

If floating point mode is selected then it will return a number between the two values given - so selecting 1 to 6 will return values 1 < x < 6 .

Note: This generates numbers.
