Input output questions

[ncc0624]

I’m clearly doing something wrong here…

I’ve tried to check out the examples and tweaked the input accordingly, however everything I’ve tried fails or doesn’t seem to line up/be correct.

I’m trying to insert a temperature, as of my current test 3400, which should be warm/orange ish however it’s returning hex 000d48. The hex changes if I input the same as a string or an integer. Last try was sending the value as msg.payload.

What’s the correct way to get the right value?

Hi, sorry for my late reply. I took a break from all coding stuff ...

can you please test version 0.0.4 (from github) npm install Christian-Me/node-red-contrib-chroma from within .node-red

Please send input of as color temperature = msg.payload.temperature

this version uses a patched chroma.js version to handle color temperatures from 1000 to 2000k. Not finally tested.

No dice. msg.payload.temperature produces Input not supported. msg.payload with a value of 3850 produces rgb(0,15,10) or #000f0a which should be more like rgb 255,202,158.

Hmmm ... have you installed version 0.0.4 (from github)?

gives me this:
