Overview

This node integrates with the etiquetas.io platform to control devices, specifically enabling the operation "Ligar LED Da Etiqueta" (Turn On Tag LED) on a device resource. It allows users to remotely activate an LED light on a tag device in a specified store, choosing the color, duration, brightness, and flashing frequency of the LED.

Common scenarios include:

  • Retail environments where staff need to locate specific tagged items quickly.
  • Inventory management where visual signals help identify products or locations.
  • Quality control processes requiring visual confirmation via LED indicators.

Practical example: A store manager wants to highlight a product on the shelf by turning its tag's LED light green for 60 seconds at full brightness and slow blinking to attract attention.

Properties

Name Meaning
storeId The store where the device is located. Can be selected from a searchable list of stores or entered by ID (numeric only).
lightColor The color of the LED light to turn on. Options: Vermelho (Red), Verde (Green), Azul (Blue), Amarelo (Yellow), Laranja (Orange), Ciano (Cyan), Roxo (Purple), Branco (White).
lightTime Duration in seconds for which the LED light will remain on.
targetExecution Identifier for the target execution context or device command (string).
Brightness Brightness level of the LED light, expressed as a string percentage (default "100").
lightFrequency Flashing frequency of the LED light. Options: Slow, Fast.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the LED activation command sent to the device. This typically includes status information confirming whether the LED was successfully turned on, any error messages, and possibly metadata about the device or command execution.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to the etiquetas.io API service.
  • Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Uses internal methods to fetch store lists dynamically for user selection.
  • Relies on the etiquetas.io platform being accessible and the device being online and reachable.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Store ID: If the storeId input does not match the expected numeric format, the node will reject it. Ensure the store ID is numeric and valid.
  • API Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key/token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Device Offline or Unreachable: If the target device is offline, the LED command will fail. Confirm device connectivity on the etiquetas.io platform.
  • Incorrect Parameter Values: Providing unsupported values for color, brightness, or frequency may cause errors. Use the provided options strictly.
  • Timeouts or Network Issues: Network instability can cause request failures. Retry or check network connectivity.
