DASHBOARD : Enable disable another node

[Ivan Morgade]

Hi,

In order to make somethng for my kids I want to disable or enable some nodes like Slider and Switch based on time (after they go to the bed, they can not turn on the TV and playstation)

The idea is to use a button or other trigger to disable some functions on the UI.

Is it that possible? and if yes how can I do that?

Thanks for your help

in the release we hope to have out very very soon....   you can send msg.enabled = false to any widget and it will disable the input

Hi,

inject node can give input based on timesettings

or look at "Pete Scargills nodes" with bigtimer and more

Hi,

Also, node-red-contrib-time-range-switch can be used to block messages during a defined period. This might be cleanest solution until the new release.

Hi,

I've been very busy this week so sorry for my late reply.

I was thinking about somethink like ng-disabled="true"

??? - sending msg.enabled = false;  into any widget will now disable it by setting a disabled class and blocking any input. - this means the actual UI can still update to stay in sync but you can't operate the controls.)
