3. Node User Manual In this section we describe the functions of each node. Nodes are grouped by their categories, and categories are listed alphabetically.

Boolean And

Performs a logical 'AND' operation (output 'true' when ALL inputs are 'true'). You can specify the number of inputs in the node settings.

Or

Performs a logical 'OR' operation (output 'true' when ANY input is 'true'). You can specify the number of inputs in the node settings.

Xor

Performs a logical 'XOR' operation (output 'true' when EITHER input is 'true', but not both). Limited to only 2 inputs.

Not

Performs a logical 'NOT' operation (output will be the inverse of the input).


Toggle

When the 'input' transitions from 'false' to 'true', 'output' will switch between 'false'/'true'. (See Figure A.)

One-Shot

Triggers ‘output’ to 'true' for 'interval' duration when 'trigger' input transitions from 'false' to 'true. Output is reset to 'false' when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. 'interval' units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘interval’ setting is 587 hours. ‘remaining’ is the number of milliseconds left until ‘output’ changes to ‘false’. (See Figure A.)


Min-On-Off

‘output’ matches ‘input’ but is delayed by the 'minOn' and 'minOff' durations. ‘output’ will remain 'true' for 'minOn' duration then match the ‘input’ value. ‘output’ will remain 'false' for 'minOff' duration then match the ‘input’ value. 'minOn' and 'minOff' delays are cancelled when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. ‘minOn active’ is ‘true’ during ‘minOn’ periods. ‘minOff active’ is ‘true’ during ‘minOff’ periods. 'minOn' and 'minOff' units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘minOn’ and ‘'minOff'’ setting is 587 hours. (See Figure A.)


On-Delay

‘output’ matches ‘input’, but ‘output’ transitions from 'false' to 'true' are delayed by 'delay' duration. The delay is cancelled when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. ‘onDelay active’ is ‘true’ during ‘onDelay’ periods. 'delay' units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘delay’ setting is 587 hours. (See Figure A.)


Off-Delay

‘output’ matches ‘input’, but ‘output’ transitions from 'true' to 'false' are delayed by 'delay' duration. The delay is cancelled when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. ‘offDelay active’ is ‘true’ during ‘offDelay’ periods. 'delay' units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘delay’ setting is 587 hours. (See Figure A.)

Ticker

While 'enable' is 'true', ‘output’ will change to 'true' at every 'interval' period. If 'Generate False' setting is set to ‘true’, ‘output’ will be 'false' for the second half of the 'interval' period. When 'enable' is 'false', ‘output’ will be 'false'. 'interval' units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘interval’ setting is 587 hours. (See Figure A.)


Compare Equal

output equal' is 'true' when 'in 1' and 'in 2' are identical, otherwise 'output equal' is 'false'. Can be used to compare boolean, numeric, and string values; it can also be used to compare 'null' values. 'output not equal' is always the opposite of 'out equal'.

Greater-Than

out >' is 'true' when 'in 1' is greater than 'in 2', otherwise 'out >' is 'false'. 'out >=' is 'true' when 'in 1' is greater than or equal to 'in 2', otherwise 'out>=' is 'false'. Both Outputs will be 'false' if either input is undefined.

Less-Than

out <' is 'true' when 'in 1' is less than 'in 2', otherwise 'out <' is 'false'. 'out <=' is 'true' when 'in 1' is less than or equal to 'in 2', otherwise 'out <=' is 'false'. Both outputs will be 'false' if either input is undefined.

Between

output' is 'true' when 'in 1' is within the numeric range between 'from' value and 'to' value (exclusive), otherwise 'output' is 'false'. 'output' will be 'false' if either input is undefined. 'out not' is always the opposite of 'output'.


Hysteresis

Boolean 'output' based on 'input' in relation to 'risingEdge' and 'fallingEdge' setpoints. There are 2 cases: 'risingEdge' greater than 'fallingEdge', and 'risingEdge' less than 'fallingEdge'.

● [For 'risingEdge' > 'fallingEdge'] => 'output' is 'true' when 'input' is greater than 'risingEdge'. 'output' is 'false' when 'input' is less than 'fallingEdge'.

● [For 'fallingEdge' < 'fallingEdge'] => 'output' is 'false' when 'input' is greater than 'risingEdge'. 'output' is 'true' when 'input' is less than 'fallingEdge'.

In both cases, when 'input' is between 'risingEdge' and 'fallingEdge', 'output' will remain in its current state.

Type-Check

‘Output' is 'true' when 'input' type matches 'Type to check' string. 'isType' outputs the type of the 'input' value.


Connection Link-Transmitter

This node works in conjunction with link-receiver node, and provides a connection of nodes without the graphical wires. 'in #' inputs will be sent to the corresponding 'out #' output on link-receiver nodes with matching 'Channel Number' settings. The number of inputs is configurable from settings.

Link-Receiver

This node works in conjunction with link-transmitter node and provides a connection of nodes without the graphical wires. 'out #' outputs will match the corresponding 'in #' input from link-transmitter nodes with matching 'Channel Number' settings. The number of outputs is configurable from settings.


Container Folder

Folders are the basic type of container which can contain other nodes. They are used to organize and segment logic. Creating a folder node will also add an entry to the Menu Sidebar under ‘Editor’, which can be used to navigate between the created containers. Containers can also be navigated by using context menu options (see images below). Folders can also be created by selecting nodes, and then selecting ‘Move to Container’ from the context menu; this will move all the selected nodes to a newly created folder.

Container Sub-Flow Example: (AND Node as a Sub-Flow)


Folder-Input

Folder-Input nodes are added within a Folder node. They are used to link values from outside the folder, to the logic within the folder. Once added, a new input slot will appear on the specific Folder node that they are contained by. Values can now be linked to the Folder node, and the value will be passed to the Folder-Input node, for use with the logic contained within the Folder. Folder-Input nodes have a ‘Name’ setting which, once set, will be displayed on the input slot of the parent Folder. Note: This node will only be available when within a folder’s Editor Pane.

Folder Node with Named Folder-Input:

Folder-Output

Folder-Output nodes are added within a Folder node. They are used to link values from within the folder, to the logic outside the folder. Once added, a new output slot will appear on the specific Folder node that they are contained by. Values can now be linked to the Folder-Output node and the value will be passed to the Folder node output slot, for use in the logic outside the Folder. Folder-Output nodes have a ‘Name’ setting which, once set, will be displayed on the output slot of the parent Folder. Note: This node will only be available when within a folder’s Editor Pane.

Folder Node with Named Folder-Output:


Count Any-Event-Counter

‘count' increases by 1 every time an event occurs at 'input'. Any incoming value, including null, will be taken. 'count' will be reset to 0 when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. ‘toggle’ will alternate between ‘true’ and ‘false’, changing each time count increases.

Counter

‘count' increases by 1 every time 'countUp' transitions from 'false' to 'true. 'count' decreases by 1 every time 'countDown' transitions from 'false' to 'true. 'count' will be set to 'set value' when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true.

Triggered-Ramp

‘output' changes every time 'trigger' transitions from 'false' to 'true'. If 'count on true->false?' setting is enabled, 'output' will also change on 'false' to 'true' transition. 'output' will change based on the 'step' value on each change (if a full 'step' would cause the output to be greater than 'max', or less than 'min' it will be limited by 'max' or 'min' respectively). 'output' will first ramp up to 'max' then it will change directions and ramp down to 'min'. 'output' will be reset to 'min' when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. If ‘Ramp Up Only’ setting is ticked, the ramp down stage will be bypassed and ‘output’ will be reset back to ‘min’ value when it reaches the ‘max’ value.

Interval-Ramp ‘output' changes at every 'interval' period, while 'enable' is set to 'true'. 'output' will change by the 'step' value on each change (if a full 'step' would cause the output to be greater than 'max', or less than 'min' it will be limited by 'max' or 'min' respectively). 'output' will first ramp up to 'max' then it will change directions and ramp down to 'min'. 'output' will be reset to 'min' when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true. If ‘Ramp Up Only’ setting is ticked, the ramp down stage will be bypassed and ‘output’ will be reset back to ‘min’ value when it reaches the ‘max’ value. 'interval’ units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘interval’ setting is 587 hours.


Waveform This node generates a sequence of numbers based on the selected settings; these sequences (waveforms) are of the form 'Ramp', 'Sine', 'Square', 'Triangle', and 'Sawtooth'. While 'enable' is 'true', 'output' will produce the next number in the sequence after every 'interval' duration. The period (how often the waveform pattern repeats) is defined by 'period'. The amplitude of the waveform is defined by 'amplitude'. The waveform can be inverted by setting 'Invert Output' to 'true' in settings. The waveform will reset to its starting position if 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true'. 'interval' and ‘period’ units can be configured from settings. Maximum 'interval' and ‘period’ setting is 587 hours.


CSV CSV-Merge-Rows

This node merges the rows of properly formatted CSV strings. ‘merge’ CSV string will be joined with the ‘original’ CSV string. The ‘merge’ CSV rows will be added below the ‘original’ CSV rows. Only the ‘original’ header titles will be kept. No error checking.

Counter

This node merges the columns of properly formatted CSV strings. ‘merge’ CSV string will be joined with the ‘original’ CSV string. The ‘merge’ CSV columns will be added to the right of the ‘original’ CSV columns. ‘null’ will be added to rows where no value exists for that column. No error checking.


Dashboard Button

Dashboard node which displays a push button on the dashboard. When clicked it will send 'true' from the node 'output'.

Progress

A Dashboard node which displays a progress bar, between 0-100 of an ‘input’ value on the dashboard. Note, a ‘scale’ node may be required to scale ‘input’ values between zero to a hundred.

Slider

A Dashboard node which displays a moveable slider bar between 0 to 100 which users can manually adjust to modify the ‘output’. The slider can be overridden by wiring a numeric into the node’s ‘input’.


Switch

Dashboard node which displays a toggle switch on the dashboard. When clicked it will switch the node 'output' between 'true' and 'false'. The button text can be edited in settings. The button can be overridden by wiring a Boolean into the node 'input'.

Text-Box

Dashboard node which displays the input value on the dashboard.

Log

Dashboard node which displays a log of the values wired into 'input', these log entries have timestamps attached. There is an option in settings to save the log entries to the Wires Database (DB).


Chart

Dashboard node which displays a chart of the values wired into 'input'. Chart properties and types can be modified in settings. There is an option in settings to save the chart entries to the Wires Database (DB).


Filter Only-True

This node filters 'input' values. Only 'true' values are passed to 'output'.

Only-False

This node filters 'input' values. Only 'false' values are passed to 'output'.

Only-Between

This node filters 'input' values. Only Numeric 'input' values between 'min' and 'max' are passed to 'output'.

Only-Greater This node filters 'input' values. Only Numeric 'input' values greater than 'threshold' are passed to 'output'.

Only-Lower

This node filters 'input' values. Only Numeric 'input' values less than 'threshold' are passed to 'output'.


Only-Equal

This node filters 'input' values. Only 'input' values equal to 'match' are passed to 'output'.

Prevent-Null

This node filters 'input' values. All 'input' values are passed to 'output' EXCEPT 'null'.

Prevent-Equal

This node filters 'input' values. All 'input' values are passed to 'output' EXCEPT 'input' values which are equal to 'match'.

Prevent-Duplicates This node filters 'input' values. All 'input' values are passed to 'output' EXCEPT 'input' values which are equal to the previous 'input' value.


History Data-Store

The data-store node is used to store history log data locally. The data-store node has limited memory so the capacity is limited to 50 log entries; beware of using too many data-store nodes as it could affect the operation of Wires. The history logs can be configured to log in UTC or local timezone, and the output format can be set to ‘Array’, ‘CSV’, or ‘JSON’. If ‘Round up in increments of’ setting is used (not zero), then the timestamp will be rounded up to the nearest increment value step.


History

The History node is used to store values to an external database. History logs (when enabled) are pushed to either the Nube DB or an Influx DB instance. A ‘Point Name’ should be entered (under ‘History’ settings) to identify the history by name. History logging options are ‘Change Of Value (COV)’, ‘Periodic’, and ‘Trigger Only’. When set to COV, a log will be saved when the value changes by the ‘COV Threshold’ from the last saved history value. When set to ‘Periodic’ a log will be saved at every ‘Logging Interval’ period. When set to either ‘COV’ or ‘Periodic’ a log entry can be saved by transitioning the ‘histTrigger’ input from ‘false’ to ‘true’. If only the ‘histTrigger’ action is required, set the ‘History Logging Mode’ to ‘Trigger Only’. If the history/history node is unable to send the history logs to the configured database (network connection issues, or incorrect configuration) then they will be stored locally, and ‘storedHistCount’ will increase. Currently the local storage limit is set to 50 logs. The history/history node has limited memory so the capacity is limited to 50 log entries; beware of using too many history/history nodes as it could affect the operation of Wires. If ‘Round up in increments of’ setting is used (not zero), then the timestamp will be rounded up to the nearest increment value step. If the input value is a Number, the ‘Decimal Places’ setting will round the input value to the specified number of decimal places.

Settings:


HVAC Deadband

This node applies a Hysteresis function (see hysteresis node), with a deadband centered at 'setpoint'. The ON direction can be reversed from settings.

'HTG Mode' will be set to 'true' if 'input' is less than 'setpoint' - 'HTG offset', 'HTG Mode' will be set to 'false' if 'input' is greater than 'setpoint'. If 'enable' is 'false', 'CLG Mode' and 'HTG Mode' will both be set to 'false'.


PID

This node generates a PID ‘output’ based on input parameter settings. Inputs: Enable, Setpoint, Process Variable, inP (Proportional), inI (Integral), inD (Derivative), Direction, Interval, MaxOut, MinOut, Manual, and Bias. If 'direction' is 'true' the PID will be a Direct loop ('output' increases when 'processVariable' > 'setpoint'), if 'direction' is 'false' the PID will be a Reverse loop ('output' increases when 'processVariable' < 'setpoint'). 'interval' is the period that the PID output is re-calculated. 'bias' value is added to 'output'. 'manual' will be the 'output' value when 'enable' is 'false'. PID integral factor will be reset to 0 when 'reset' transitions from 'false' to 'true'. 'interval’ units can be configured from settings. Maximum ‘interval’ setting is 587 hours.

● ‘inP’ (Proportional) is a multiplication factor that is applied to the error (‘input’ - ‘’setpoint’) ● ‘inI’ (Integral) is set in “repeats per minute”. ie. ‘inI’ multiplied by the error, is added to the

‘output’ every second. ● ‘inD’ is multiplied by the difference between the current ‘processVariable’ value, and the

previous ‘processVariable’ value; the product is added to ‘output’

MQTT-Point-Write

This node connects to an MQTT Broker, subscribes to a topic, and can publish values. Once configured (in settings) with a valid ‘Broker URL’, ‘Broker Port’, and ‘Authentication’(if required), this node will read and write to MQTT topics when ‘enable’ is ‘true’. This node has a built in 16 level priority array. A ‘Write Priority Level’ must be selected from settings. The highest write priority value will be published to the ‘topic’/value and ‘topic’/json. To release a priority level, a ‘null’ message should be sent on the priority level to be released. This point can be modified by an external MQTT device. From-External Example: ‘topic’ = “MyTopic”. To write a value to this MQTT-point from an external MQTT device, a value of the form {value:(your value here), priority:(your priority)} must be published to the MQTT topic “MyTopic/req”. When any message is published on the MQTT topic “MyTopic/req” this node will publish the updated value to MQTT topic “MyTopic/value/res” it will also publish complete message JSON to MQTT topic “MyTopic/json/res”. If the current value (in Wires) is 55 @ priority 5, then an external MQTT device publishes {value:33, priority:3} to “MyTopic/req” then the MQTT-Point will output 33. If the external MQTT device then publishes {value:null, priority:3} to “MyTopic/req” then the MQTT-Point output will revert to the next priority value (55 @ priority 5).
