Hi folks, Based on another discussion, I created the node-red-contrib-ui-multistate-switch UI node: [mult_switch_demo] Thanks to our CSS guru @hotNipi for all styling tips!! Known issues: Too much space between the widgets. Need to have a look at that... Had expected that height: {value: 1}…

[image] BartButenaers: I would like to have something that is a bit self-explaining, I am torn between whether it should use the same words as the ui_switch node uses for the same modes of operation, or whether the wording could be improved. In the meantime I has posted a question relating t…

Colin, The tricky part about having the State fed back is the following example. Say I have a pump... it can be ON/OFF by operator selection (let's call that manual mode) Or it can be On/Off by control decisions (lets' call that auto mode). So, if I were to have Off - Auto - On options on my mul…

Does the status coming back from the pump also give you the Auto/Manual state? If it does then you could use that to determine what to send to the switch. Then the actual on/off state is fed to the LED.

Colin, in my case YES. I trigger relays over i2c.. and I do get the actual status back from the device (...the relay latched..) It's that status that I feed back to the LED node that I place right next to my toggle switches....

So you could merge the auto/manual state with the on/off state to know whether to send on, off, or auto in the front of the switch node.

I'm not worried. I'll figure it out.

Thank you BartButenaers and hotNipi for your next great contribution. I am already starting to include this in my home automation dashboard. It's already improvement for me in it's current state. One question or request - if possible make switching the state of switch only when a message arrives. …

This is under discussion if you read carefully whole thread. Most probably it will be available at some point. Just not yet concluded about what will be the actual implementation.

[image] BartButenaers: A checkbox " pass input msg to output ", which only does what it says I think I prefer the term pass through as that is used in the ui_switch and slider. [image] BartButenaers: No input : does not accept click/touch events Accept but don't show input : it accepts …

[image] Colin: not sure about the wording Perhaps "No user input"? [image] Colin: Will those be selectable at run time? Via an input msg could that be enabled or disabled

Yes, and it retains its visual state when changing ui tabs.
