Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Additional you can get sun and moon position or to control a flow by sun or moon position. It is ideal for usage of control smart home, but also for all other time based flow control.

Information on Version changes

If a Node has a warning sign on the label like this one: warning sign This is not an error, it hides only that the node needs to be opened, saved and deployed to fix the label.

⚠ Nodes that were created or saved with a version 2.0.0 or later do not work in versions prior 2.0.0 of the package.

Table of contents

Preconditions

These nodes need at least NodeJS Version 12.0 and Node-Red with Version 1.2.9! Any early Version of Node-Red will not work!

Installation

npm install node-red-contrib-sun-position

General

Saving resources

The nodes are designed to do not calculate time events with every arriving message or with an interval every x time. This is to be able to handle a huge amount of messages also on even on computers with low resources.

second based accuracy

The nodes are designed to be accurate to seconds. This means it was designed to turn on/off at exact given second. Other timers often work using intervals where they check your schedule only once a minute or even less. This means when you want something to come on at 08:00am, it may actually not come on until 30 seconds later. This nodes does not have this problem, it will come on at exactly 08:00:00am.

Documentation of the nodes

The documentation of the nodes is moved to the wiki:
