How to debug flows faster with interactive sliders

In order to debug your flows more easily I’ve just added a new node to my (ever growing) arsenal. The interactive inject node renders an interactive slider directly on the editor canvas — no dashboard required.

Thus making it easy to quickly inject some test values without having to copy / paste + alter your inject nodes.

This isn’t purely useful for Victron users and there is no intention to add it to the default palette shipping with Venus (at least not yet). I am tempted to state that it should be part of the normal Node-RED nodes. Anyway, if you want to use it, you can install it via the palette manager.

And to make it a bit more Victron specific. E.g. if you want to inject the Soc value for a virtual battery, add a change node with jsonata set to: {"Soc": payload}.
