LED UI widget?

[Larry Roy]

Hey guys,

Have you had any requests to add an LED widget to the widget list (chart, button, gauge, LED, etc.)?

We are using Node-RED to indicate machine health, and the charts and gauges are fantastic for that, but an easy-to-drop LED would certainly make BOOLEAN values simple to visualize.

I am using an LED control on my client-side systems, and the LED allows for a caption, specification of ON color and OFF color.  And that's about it.  Wouldn't be a ton of properties to implement.

If there is some other easy method of implementing an LED on the dashboard, I'd be interested to know what others are doing...

Thank you!

Larry

The dashboard can display any of the Material or fa-icons which are then easily coloured based on a property contained within the payload.

Take a look at this flow from flows.nodered.org which shows one way of doing this

Larry I've been playing and have created a very simple UI element Circle or as I've called them Bubbles.

Which supports 2 state and up to 4 state colours.

All can be customised by changing css

Also you can click and change UI state to send back state change from UI
