Added

• Node - Configuration - The configuration node can be “enable” or “disable” now, when disabled no connection is start on boot and all linked node show the red dot “disabled” status.

Changed

• All nodes - Conversion, where necessary, of “isBuffer” checks into “isArray” checks
• All nodes - Avoid input processing on client node disconnected or disabled
• Node - zeRGBa - Check if a valid RGB value is passed, otherwise it will generate an alert and the message will be discarded
• Node - Table - It will generate an alert on a simple payload without other parameters and the message will be discarded
• Increase heartbeat timeout to 15 seconds - see Blynk Server Issue #1294
• Compatibility with Blynk Library 0.5.4

Fixed

• Node - Write - Now it accepts multiple values as input via arrays and forwards them to the server correctly - see this
• Correct some log messages

Many thanks for this @gab.lau

I’m away for the next 3 weeks, so sadly can’t do any testing yet, but I’ll certainly give it a go when I get back.

Even i change the input to true and false but not working

If a inject it directly it is working

but i want one button that can change the another button property

[PeteKnight]

@Pranav, I’ve responded to your other thread about this issue, here:

I’m having the same problem as ingoingo, above. I posted about it here:

App gets command from Node-Red, device doesn't

A command from Node-Red does not affect the hardware, but the app sees it. If I tap the button in the app, Node-Red reports the value. The board reports the value. If I send the value in Node-Red, the app changes. The board does nothing. I have tried this with two different Node-Red servers. Am I doing something wrong? I’m controlling a Wemos D1 Mini Pro with library version 0.6.1 over Wifi. I’m using Node-Red and the node-red-contrib-blynk-ws library version 1.0.3. My app is on iPhone 6s, v…

Is there a simple tutorial how to use it? I have no idea how to start, even I am not new in HA or Blynk (but I haven’t done anything new in the last period with blynk since all my new projects are on HA).

I have ESP8266 HVAC control (well not the last version) and I would like to see desired and actual temperature, change the desired temperature and turn the heater on and off in HomeAssistant via NodeRed. Can anyone help me how?

[PeteKnight]

Not really a tutorial, but this might get you started…

My home automation projects built with MQTT and Node Red

I thought I’d start a topic about some of the home automation things I’m doing with Blynk. We live in London, England, and also have a holiday home in Spain where we spend around 4 months of the year. Most of my home automation projects are based in the Spanish home and are aimed at simplifying day-to-day life while we’re there. My wife is disabled, and finds new technology a bit of a challenge, so all the projects that I’ve created are aimed at being practical, easy to use and reliable. Lets …

I’ve recently installed HA on my Pi, but haven’t really tried to do anything with it yet.

Hello.
How monitoring physical pins write events? For example d1 or d2?

[John93]

@NvAriec I’d suggest creating a new " need help with my project topic " and provide as much details as possible.

[NvAriec]

But it question about node-red node “Write event” and “Read event”. In this node i can’t choose this pins. But can see this actions.

[PeteKnight]

@NvAriec start a new topic and explain your issue in detail, with screenshots and any other relevant information, and we’ll help you to resolve the problem.

Pete.
