After I have been through & done them all & I restart Signal K they are all back there again!!
Is this normal?
Filter and Priority are part of the file /home/pi/.signalk/red/flows_openplotter.json and are saved there.
After you delete/edit/add a Filter or Priority. This file will be changed. To activate the changes, you need to restart Signal K which restarts Node-RED.
(Please check if signalk-node-red is installed. (SignalK Dashboard Appstore->Installed))
How does it work?
Openplotter Signal K Filter only adds a flow "OpenPlotter Filter" to Node-RED and add some subflows with Java code. So it is managed under the hood of Signal K.
It makes use of the Signal K functions in Node-RED. And it is based on an example of Scott Bender (Signal K Slack forum. Thank you Scott!)
Yes it is normal. Last sentence of documentation warns.
"
Known issues
The Signal K server starts before Node-RED. A few seconds you will get data unfiltered.

So all your unwanted sentences (Filter/Priority) show up in the diagnostics but shouldn't update anymore!
Excellent!! Thank you so much
Yes, I have Node Red - with several flows running.
