Auto-disable

[ghost]

Hi,
can you consider a new option to automatically disable the node after the event?

Hi,
thanks for your proposal. I assume you are talking about the scheduler node, right?

Unfortunately this is not so easy because it is somewhat ambiguous. The scheduler node supports multiple schedule events. So which event should disable the node? And should it disable the node completey, only one event or some events (and which ones)?

On the other hand, you can achieve what you want easily on your own by feeding a control message back into the scheduler node as input.

Here is an example with a scheduler node having one event configured and getting completely disabled after the event fired:

The change node has the following rule:

And here is another example with a scheduler node having multiple events configured (each event with a dedicated outpur port) and the second event disabling itself after having fired:

The change node has the following rule:

Therefore I think it doesn't make much sense implementing such logic in the scheduler node.

This is the complete example flow:

Yes, I was talking about the scheduler node ....
I understand the problem with multiple schedule events and I have taken note of your example.
Thank you ...
