Hello I would like to send my button as soon as I let him number 0 again. at the moment it is so that he sends a 1 via modbus when clicking and then it stays that way. but I need to release again a 0.

Do you mean that you want a button that sends a message when you press it then another when you release it?

One button who send a massage when i press him and the same button send a massage when i relase him. Importend, not a switch. It must be a button.
And there are another question:
Is there a possibility that I attach up to 16 buttons to 1 function and then transfer this as 1 word? The reason for this is that I read about Modbus word by word and thus would save a lot of space.

Mario,
As a possibility, you could use the `trigger` node.
So you have your `button` and that feeds into the `trigger` node.
The `trigger` node is set up to send a message then a time after that send a different message.
But I don't know if that is exactly what you want as it implies the button is never held down for varying ammounts of time.

Thank u so much.
Sometimes the solution is so close and you can not see it.

I am not sure I understand the second question. Sorry.
Though you are using _Modbus_ shouldn't be a problem, I am not getting what you want to do.
Reading it as I see it, you can connect 16 `buttons` to 1 _function_ but what I think that means and what you are asking may be very different.
If you are meaning you have a _function_ (input to a node) and want to have 16 different `buttons` connected to it: The answer is yes.
You simply make the 16 `buttons` and connect them to the node's input. (aka _function_)
If the `buttons` are on other flows, you can still connect them.
Use a `link - in` node where the `button` input is and on the other flows you the `link out` and connect that to the `button` on that flow.
You then connect the two `link` nodes together.
An _easier_ way of doing that is:
Establish the `link in` node and connect it to the `button`.
Drag a `link out` node onto the flow and connect it to the `link in` node.
This will be a dotted line.
**copy** the `link out` node.
Go to the other flows and **paste** near the `button`.
Then connect the `button` to the `link out` node.
Go to the next flow and **paste** again. (Repeat until done)
Does that help?
If you are still stuck, take a screen shot of the flow and include it in the thread.
Do some basic editing (like adding arrows, etc) to show items of interest.
