Welcome.

sorry could not understand the requirement, but see if this is what you expected.

I'll try again. In the said payload, the open state 0 closed and 1 open of a door sensor is delivered. But I want to convert the value 0 or 1 into a string and then send it as a message  
0 should be changed to "door closed"  
1 should be changed to “Door opened”

I hope the description is now clearer?

Thanks for your help.

This will look for "0" and replace with "door closed"

assuming the payload is equal to 0 or 1

If it contains 0 and 1 , then @cymplecy solution should work.

unfortunately this doesn't work:  
v3/doorsens@ttn/devices/chicken-out/up : msg.payload : number 1  
is the payload result.  
and if I change that to open door

it will still be passed as 1

perfect, it works, thank you.

I had two mistakes.  
The payload was queried once not as a payload but again as a payload status.  
and then didn't use the switch.  
Both combinations work together and the text is transmitted.

Many thanks
