I have watched so many of your videos and they are fantastic. When I need to figure something out I will search RUclips and scroll through the other videos until I see your example. So helpful!

Thank you very much for your video. If I use switch node (Dashboard), how to get the present status of switch? I want to get status of many switch then check, compare and given the next step.

[@kaushalmishra100]

Thanks for a great video. I have a specific question, in my chat application I am using websocket and one javascript based client.. with one instance of client it works but with more than one.. every client is getting same message from server.. is there a way to fix this

[@_JustBeingCasual]

When using the 'Change' node, can you set a default value? I think we are missing that feature?

[@manologitech]

How to download exe file from internet link to local drive?

[@JoseBerruezo]

Great explanation, but if the node red restarts, do we still have everything saved?

[@Opto22]

yes

[@wick_bourne]

I am from a non programming background with little understanding of python. How much do i need to know javascript? I can understand pythons code but with javascript , i face difficulty in understanding

[@arssandaar]

what is the size of context? I could not find any numbers

[@developeropto2292]

Context payloads are stored to your file system, so it depends on the file storage space of the computer that Node-RED is running on. (But you can also store context to memory, so you should think about how you want to set context up in the settings.js file).

[@arssandaar]

@@developeropto2292 thanks for the prompt response.
I checked ~/node-red/ directory, there is no my data. Where to find them and how to check what settings are set by default. It should be known because I did not set anything specific. Is there decent documentation where things are written properly?
