Hello
I am trying to cancel the mytimeout node, by sending payload "cancel" after sending a payload "on".
Instead of cancelling, the timer just resets and starts counting again.
Even if I just send a cancel payload, it starts counting down.
Is this a bug with the node? Can anyone verify that you can cancel the timer?

Never mind - user error! I was using the inject node with " " around the actual payload string, meaning I was sending ""cancel"" instead of "cancel" 🙂 .
