Timberwolf - How do i clear a notification in N...
How do i clear a notification in Node red? I am creating a notification when the fuel level is low, but how do i clear that noptificatiobn when the level is back to normal? As i undersans it i should set the notification value to Null, but i'm not sure how to do that in Node red.

Send the notification again with state set to “normal”
Use the trigger function to have it reset.
But as i understand it the way to clear a notification is to send it with Null as value. Is sending with state normal the same thing?
Your understanding is not correct. The correct way to “clear” a notification is to set it to normal. The notification remains, but it is no longer in a bad state.
OK. i must have misunderstood this in the documentation at https://signalk.org/specification/1.7.0/doc/notifications.html:
To clear the alarm condition, send:
{
"context": "vessels.urn:mrn:signalk:uuid:c0d79334-4e25-4245-8892-54e8ccc8021d",
"updates": [
{
"source": {...},
"timestamp": "2017-08-15T16:00:05.538Z",
"values": [
{
"path": "notifications.mob",
"value": null
}
]
}
]
}
lol. Didn’t realize that was in there.
I guess that would work too. Not sure there’s a way to do that on node-red. 99% of the plugins and even n2k alarms clear by setting the state.
It was possible to send a delta and specify the value as a JSON string, but your solution is much more straight foreward
i use a “send notification node” …. and its its config there is an entry for “set to normal” … this clears notification for the specific path specified
