Firebase.DataChanged Query

[sharpeye09]

Hello! Can anyone please help me how can I utilize properly this block with ".DataChanged"? I am considering to use it for a real-time monitoring but I only need to retrieve the value of a certain tag. Will this block be of use for that?

Thanks!

What have you tried ?

Things to know:

1. DataChanged event will only fire if you have interacted with Firebase from the app in some way
2. Set a condition (e.g. tag name) to capture only the tag value you want when dataChanged is returned

1. The original intention was to read the data in Firebase sent by NodeMCU
2. In the picture (I hope I've done it right and was uploaded), those were the moves I have been figuring. I still cannot get only the value of MLOAD. Whenever the other tags changed their value, that's what the Label2 displays.

Use an if/else block....

if tag = MLOAD, then set Label = value

datachanged may not always work if data comes into firebase from other sources, YMMV

Thanks, it worked! Yay

But what about this, I want to create a string composed of the values from MLOAD through MLVL_06?

It should go like this...
If I changed MLV_03 to 1, Label2 will display 0111600.
If MLVL_03 changed back to 0 and MLOAD and MLVL_04 changed to 1, Label2 will be 1110100

I couldn't find any vid on YT regarding this so your help would be greatly appreciated
