Node-RED Example flow – automation with dynamic on/off thresholds and time delays?

Hi all,

Did somebody already create a similar dynamic on/off flow for Node-RED?

As shown in the 3rd part of the online webinar:
Victron and Node-Red - Webinar - Part 3/3

I thought to find it in the example flows, but no luck :-(
GitHub wiki Example-Flows

@Dirk-Jan Faber, could you ask Mark Corluka if he would like to share it with the community?

I want to use the SOC and solar forecast date i.c.w. such a dynamic on/off flow to enable/disable the boiler and maybe even 2 other devices in an off-grid environment.

Hi Mike, no problem, I'll share that example flow with Dirk over the weekend and let you know once it's loaded into the example flows location.

Regards, Mark

Thanks for the reminder. I will get the flows of Mark after the weekend. Perhaps I need to adjust them a bit before adding them to the wiki and the importable examples. So should be on there by the end of next week.

The (slightly adjusted) example can be found here: https://github.com/victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron/wiki/Example-Flows#threshold-control

Great thanks!
Please keep adding more examples, because I think a lot more people will be able to make a quick start with the Victron Node-RED flows with some good examples.


It's great that you guys made it possible to run it as simple as possible by just selecting the Large firmware version on the "Cerbo-GX".

Sure. But please also suggest which kind of examples are needed.
