Hello,
First off - thanks for a great plugin!
I'm using NodeMcu boards with this plugin (standard not API due to lack of my skill) and they work very well. Generally speaking, I control relay's on non-critical stuff.
I have an electric sliding gate that enables me to use two voltage free contacts to control open/close and pedestrian open/close. I would like to use "One Flash" as the gate input needs to see a pulsed input, ideally, the relay is energised for a moment when i send a "One Flash" command (failsafe pros/cons have been considered)
My problem, wondering if there is a bug with "One Flash":
*"One Flash" only works when the relays are energised then it will pulse when "One Flash" is pressed (irrespective of HS on/off status using "Invert Output").
*If the relay is not energised "One Flash" energises the relay with the first press, and then will pulse on the next press of "One Flash". Maybe a bug?
* My relays (on each node deployed) are all set Output High by default (relay coils energised by default)? What I would like, is the opposite, Output set Low (relay coils de-energised by default).
*Please note - using "Invert Output" on the outputs configuration tab only adjusts the HS3 graphics so does not help me here.
*"Blink" works as expected, the function works from coil energised or de-energised state (irrespective of HS on/off status using "invert Output").
*On/Off work as expected (irrespective of HS on/off status using "invert Output").
The relay boards I have do not allow me to invert ontput(s) high/low, I mention this because Randy noted that he has the feature available to him on his particular relay modules.
Thanks!
Tim
