Looking for assistance with Node-Red trigger node as a dynamic timer
Killing myself over this one and hoping someone can help.
The issue: In the impending JSON node-red flow I have created an automation for my fireplace. Everything seems to work correctly with the exception of an auto-off timer I have implemented. The timer gets a value from 'input_number.auto_off_fireplace_timing' (set by the user). This number is then sent as msg.auto_off_timing = entity_state. A function node received this and runs the following JS against it:
const timingMinutes = Number(msg.auto_off_timing);
if (isNaN(timingMinutes) || timingMinutes <= 0) {
node.error("Invalid timing value", msg);
return null;
}
const timingMilliseconds = timingMinutes * 60 * 1000;
msg.delay = timingMilliseconds;
delete msg.reset;
return msg;
It then sends this message to the Auto-off Timer Trigger Node, which seems to start (blue circle present) but does not abide by the math outlined. In fact, I can't get it to continue on from the trigger and given the node type, there is no good way to monitor the current status of its countdown.
At a lost here and hoping someone can help. here is my JSON (some of the other safety checks, thermostat, auto-off after 2 hours, etc... have been removed to focus on the issue):
