Fixed dependency warning. Thanks Hexagon.
Bumped telldus dependency to 1.0.0
Fixed missing changelog
Added support for Node 0.12+
The tellstick-out node now sends the same command multiple times to ensure that at least one of them reaches the receiver.
As the Tellstick just sends radio signals without any way of knowing if the transmission reched its goal, sometimes signals gets lost in space.
To mitigate this. The tellstick-out now sends the same command multiple times.
By default, it sends the same command 5 times with an interval of 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds) between each command. You can tweak these settings but editing the settings.js file in your Node-RED directory (the path to the settings file is printed in the console when you're starting Node-RED).
The new settings are:
functionGlobalContext: {
repeatSendTimes: 5,
repeatSendInterval: 500
}
Imagine that you have a flow that will turn on a lamp (command A) and directly thereafter turn off that lamp (command B).
Then the command A will turn the lamp on, then command B will turn the lamp off. Then the command A will emit it's second signal, turning the lamp on again. Command B will emit it's second signal, turning the lamp on - and so on.
If you have a flow as such, then set repeatSendTimes to 1. However, this should really be a corner case.
