Good afternoon.

I get the following data in my debug  
node: debug 21  
polling : msg.payload : array[8]  
array[8]  
0: false  
1: false  
2: false  
3: false  
4: false  
5: false  
6: false  
7: false

I would like to have only the data 0:False how can I split this so that I can only look at 1 data.

Use a change node that sets `payload` to `payload[0]`

or just access `msg.payload[0]`

TBH, it depends where you want to use the value.

thanks it worked. I use this value to be able to convert it to 1 or 0.
