node-red-contrib-ton-toff 1.0.1

Node-RED TON/TOFF timer - On-Delay and Off-Delay timer functions

npm install node-red-contrib-ton-toff

node-red-contrib-ton-toff

Node-RED timer node with configurable on-delay and off-delay (TON/TOFF).

Features

• Configurable on-delay (TON)
• Configurable off-delay (TOFF)
• Delay units: ms / s / min
• Live countdown in node status
• Extended truthy/falsy evaluation

Behavior

• Input becomes truthy → waits onDelay → Output true
• Input becomes falsy → waits offDelay → Output false
• Input changes while timer is running → cancel timer, start new timer
• Same input while timer is running → timer continues (no reset)
• Delay = 0 → immediate reaction (no timer)

Examples

onDelay=1s, offDelay=1s:

Input 1 → waits 1s → Output true
Input 0 → waits 1s → Output false

onDelay=2s, offDelay=0s:

Input 1 → waits 2s → Output true
Input 0 → immediately → Output false

Configuration

Input

msg.payload - Any value, evaluated as truthy/falsy:

Falsy (= OFF): false, 0, "", null, undefined, NaN, "false", "0", "off"

Truthy (= ON): Everything else: true, 1, "on", "hello", 42, etc.

Runtime Overrides

Output

{ "payload": true }

The original msg object is forwarded, only payload is overwritten.

Use Cases

Node Status

• Idle - Waiting for first input
• ON in 5s... - On-delay running
• OFF in 3s... - Off-delay running
• ON - Output is true
• OFF - Output is false
