When using NR and setting the playlist there is no way to then stop the playlist.
I want to be able to stop the playlist from playing so I can freeze on a single screen or use the live mode to draw.

However, once a playlist is started it then can't be stopped again.

Thanks.

Hi,
I updated the node and now I see the following:

• brightness adjustment does not work, I think it stays at the default brightness level.
• when I inject sleepmode_on, the it does not go dark. It just stops and shows a still image (or at least it does not go to the next screen). In continues when I inject sleepmode_off.
• My alertscreen, which scrolls a text, sometimes freezes. Sometimes it goes blank but a few pixels of the text stay on.

I restarted node-red, rebooted the pi and re-deployd the whole workspace.... no luck.

Hi,
Since latest update from HassIO, Node-Red is crashing while trying to launch Pixelit.core

See bellow log output

PS: If I remove this specific lib from "package.json", then NodeRed starts

Can you please have a look.
Thank you

good morning and congratulations on the project you are carrying out, very nice. I am a beginner and I am untangling myself with an 8x32 led panel and in many things I have succeeded but I cannot create a flow that manages the brightness for me, by chance someone has an example of how I can manage it manually and how to integrate it in the home assistant?

thanks in advance for the availability

Discussed in https://github.com/o0shojo0o/PixelIt/discussions/89

I have several screens working and all based on a value. Let's take solar power as an example. I want it to update and show the solar watts from panels only above 0 watts. When it is 0 watts, I want it to not show in the rotation. I mostly have it working, but instead of going away at 0, it reads the last value forever which is normally 1 watt. I noticed this is possible from the 'days til christmas" screen but can't duplicate it. I am pulling the values from MQTT, is that the problem?

I am using a function node with this code:

`var percent = msg.payload

msg.payload = percent;

if (percent === 0) {
msg.show = false
}
else if (percent > 0) {
return msg;
}`

Is a "go to next screen in playlist" function possible? When i test something and have a long playlist, in need to wait until the new screen appears...

https://forum.bastelbunker.de/d/139-arbeitsspeicher-lauft-voll/7

Is it possible to have the value of a state displayed in the message?

I tried putting this in the text box.

Current Plex Viewers: {{payload}}

or
Current Plex Viewers: {{msg.payload}}

I asked to see if ChatGPT could help and ended up with this flow which also didnt work.

Any help appreciated!

Core node causes the following error in node red debug, when context is set to filesystem as default.

"Context 35ecb3fe.70a82c:43c26ad8e4dbc534 contains a circular reference that cannot be persisted"

Hi, I updated to 0.3.7. Brightness and sleep works fine again, scrolling works wenn set to "auto". Thanks for fixing it!
Scrolling does not work when set to "on", it displays a static text then. I am fine with the auto setting :)

btw. the latest version does not show up in the node-red palette, I updated with npm install.

Currently, you only can redefine the playlist as a whole.
If you want to remove a screen from the list, you have to state the remaining screens. If you want to add screens to the list, you have to state all screens.

It would be great to have nodes that say:

• add screen X (if not already existing)
• remove screen Y (if existing)
  By this, for example, temporary screens (It will rain at 12.15pm) can be added and removed automatically.

Hi!
My Pixelit worked perfectly until I updated my CodeRed on HA (10.7.0.5). Since then, I have received an error message in the core node saying that it cannot connect with the HTTP API. The rest of the flow seems to work well, but the screen does not display the content.

I checked the IP address and options on the WebUI, but everything has stayed the same. HA sees my Pixelit via MQQT (I can still read the sensors and switch it on/off).

Has this happened to others? Do you know what the problem is and how to fix it?

This is my flow:

https://github.com/o0shojo0o/PixelIt/issues/5

{"setGpio": {"gpio":14,"set":true,"duration":1000}}
{"setGpio": {"gpio":14,"set":true}}
{"setGpio": {"gpio":14,"set":false}}
