========================
A <a href="http://nodered.org" target="_new">Node-RED</a> node to control a <a href="http://www.blinkstick.com/" target="_new">BlinkStick</a>.
Install
-------
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install:
npm install node-red-node-blinkstick
Usage
-----
<i><a href="http://www.blinkstick.com" target="_new">BlinkStick</a></i> output node. Expects a <b>msg.payload</b> with one of:
* A hex string <b>"#rrggbb"</b> triple
* <b>"red,green,blue"</b> three 0-255 values as a string
* <b>"random"</b> will generate a random color
* <i><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp" target="_new">Standard HTML color</a></i> name
* <b>object</b> can override any of the parameters
An object payload can override any of the settings on the node. Omitted parameters are left intact. For example:
{ 'color': 'blue' }
{ 'task': 'blink', 'color': 'red' }
{ 'task': 'pulse', 'color': 'gree', 'duration': 500 }
{ 'task': 'morph', 'color': 'orange', 'duration': 500, 'steps': 20 }
