Hi all! Im working in my home lights project and i want to achive the following. Im using sonoff with mqtt and homeassitant. All works fine!. With node-red im checking the actual state of my sonoff if it is ON or OFF. All works fine. The thing is i want to get the value or string of the ON state…

Did you set the debug node to output the complete msg object ?

Read up on " working with messages "

Thanks a lot folks!! I will give it a read.

Thanks a lot to all who answered. I'm working on this feature and i find it a little bit complicated, maybe i'm complicating it too. The thing is that i want to get the last time that the state was changed to ON. When that happens i have to compare that time and date with the actual time and date …

if this is what it says, the time since the last change in milliseconds: [image] wouldn’t it be easier to convert this to something like minutes than to go down the way of date conversions? Johannes

Ok, how can i access to that element? Maybe with a Change node?

well you can click this: [image] next to the value to copy the path to this key of your msg object. You could than use a change node like this: [image] where you paste your copied path in the first field of the move rule and use a jsonata expression to convert to minutes and round the result. …

Thanks a lot! That worked perfectly. Regards!
