node-red-contrib-chronos 1.20

[jensrossbach]

Nearly a year passed since the last feature update of node-red-contrib-chronos but now comes the new version 1.20. Although it's more an evolution than a revolution, you might like the one or other addition.

Location coordinates from environment variables

Now you can specify environment variables for the latitude and longitude in configuration nodes and the values will be taken from these variables.

Convert time to ISO-8601 string

Now it's possible to convert times with the time change node to ISO-8601 strings without the need to specify the format yourself. Just select one of the ISO string menu items in the new dropdown menu instead.

Basetime from context variables and message properties as datetime string

Formerly the basetime for time switch and filter nodes injected from context variables and message properties must have been Unix epoch timestamp numbers. Now it is also possible to specify the basetime as datetime string.

More properties accessible to JSONata expressions in scheduler nodes

When using JSONata-based output in a scheduler node, the expressions now have access to the following additional properties:

Property	Type	Description
config.timezone	String	The time zone configured in the assigned configuration node.
schedule.id	Number	The identifer of the schedule (sequential number starting with 1).
schedule.trigger	Object	The trigger configuration of the schedule.
