• Minimum brightness Your Awtrix device brightness has a direct effect on how readable certain text colours appear and darker palette colours can be difficult to view on the display. The minimum brightness dialogue setting is a 'perceived colour' brightness value used to determine if a team colour will be readable on your Awtrix display. All team name colours are evaluated against this value, if they fall below this threshold they fail the test. Primary and alternate colours are tested in order before falling back to '#FFFFFF'. The default value for this setting is 30. If you are finding dark text colours difficult to read, increase this number.

Outputs

This node has three outputs, wire your own downstream nodes to these

Output pin #1 - Payload event type, wire to anything you want (eg. Alexa/Google notification)

msg.payload is one of: "goal", "disallowed goal", "red card", or "full time". Penalties and own goals are also reported as "goal" on this output. The distinction between goal events is only reported by pin #2 & pin #3.

Wire a switch node off this output to route each event type to your own desired trigger.

Here is an Alexa Ready audio clip you can use for "GOAL" events to get you started "<audio src='https://nr-alexa-sounds.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/goal.mp3'/>"

Output pin #2 - AWTRIX 3 payload

msg.payload is a ready-to-send 2 part AWTRIX 3 notification object set to fire with pin #1 and carries the event plus a followup detail (incl. score, player, team names). Wire this pin straight to one or more mqtt out nodes pointed at your AWTRIX 3 device(s).

Output pin #3 - AWTRIX NG payload

msg.payload The same as pin #2 but formatted for AWTRIX-NG devices.

internally

• Tracked team colours Primary & secondary team colours are assessed independently. Home team first to determine if the primary colour is deemed too dark or not viable for AWTRIX (see Minimum brightness). Away team colours are assessed in the same manner and checked against the home team resolved colour to avoid the two clashing.

• Node Status The node will show any upcoming matches for tracked teams only:

  • "populating matches" - shown after a deploy while match data loads.
  • "nothing upcoming" - none of your tracked teams have any immediate matches.
  • "next match xxxx-xx-xx" - date of the next match from your tracked teams list.
  • "kick off shortly" - a match is about to begin.
  • "live - in play" - match underway and actively polling for live data.
