node-red-contrib-clamp 1.0.0

Node-RED clamp node - limits values to a min/max range

npm install node-red-contrib-clamp

node-red-contrib-clamp

Node-RED Clamp Node - limits values to a min/max range.

Features

• Limits values to configured min/max range
• Values below min are clipped to min
• Values above max are clipped to max
• Runtime overrides via msg properties
• Configurable decimal places (0-10)

Behavior

• Input < min → Output = min
• Input > max → Output = max
• Input in range → Output = input unchanged

Examples

min=0, max=100:

Input 120  → Output 100 (clamped)
Input -5   → Output 0   (clamped)
Input 42   → Output 42  (passthrough)

min=-10, max=10:

Input 15   → Output 10  (clamped)
Input -15  → Output -10 (clamped)
Input 0    → Output 0   (passthrough)

Configuration

Input

• msg.payload - Numeric value to clamp

Runtime Overrides

Output

{
  "payload": 100,
  "clamp": {
    "input": 120,
    "output": 100,
    "min": 0,
    "max": 100,
    "clamped": true,
    "clampedAt": "max"
  }
}

Use Cases

Node Status

• 42 (in range) - Value passed through
• 100 (clamped, was 120) - Value was clamped at max
• 0 (clamped, was -5) - Value was clamped at min
• Invalid range - min >= max
