Node-RED Context Watcher
Node-RED Context Watcher
This is a subflow node that permits you to watch a context variable and emit its value when it is set or modified in another location.
Important notes:
- Read the built-in help on the Right Hand Sidebar
- Only built in memory based context is supported
- Only an object and/or its immediate properties can be watched.
- If the object is replaced, the watcher will stop working
- Injecting a blank msg or new configuration will repair it (see demo flow)
