Thanks in advance , i would like to think i have moved from crawling to walking with node red however, i am stumped at were to start with a very simple task.  
I have a temerature and a number going into a sum, that parts fine but the temperature continues trigger the sum on state change i want to disable it based on a state condition of a window sensor. I could do this with an additional entity configured as a switch but that seems overkill. But when i try a state node i dont know how to pass the temperature through when the state of the window sensor is true.
