Hi, this is my first try to implement sth. with node-red. I´ve installed node-red-contrib-deconz and node-red-dashboard - they´re both up and running. The switch should show me the actual state of the light (on or off) and i want also to be able to change the status of the switch (which controls …

[image] molt: Should i test again with boolean Yes, change the switch to output booleans, and take out the function node and change the Change node so it is configured like this [image] It doesn't need to change the values, they should stay as boolean, so it is just necessary to Move msg.pa…

I dont have "deconz", so inject/debug are used for simulation... What about: Without 2nd function and ticked checkbox in switch( Pass through msg if payload matches new state)?

Are you posting under two different names? It is confusing. Which flow are you testing now and what is not working? Do not tick pass through. Do not have feedback round the switch.

The flow you posted in post #10 works perfectly for me after I remove the pass through selection and select Show State of Input.

Hello @Colin how did you set the node for sending the information to the bulb itself? The Nodes like you have it, show the correct information but the Bulb is not changing :wink: i have the lidl bulb with (Color temperature light) have a nice day vinc

For me it is working as I posted (Pass through select) :thinking: [ui_switch]

[image] markost: For me it is working as I posted (Pass through select) It will until you close the loop so that a message sent by the switch controls the light and triggers an input where the Inject nodes are, then you will get an infinite loop.

[image] vikozo: how did you set the node for sending the information to the bulb itself? You need to look up what the bulb requires. I have no experience of the bulb you mention.

Is there a way to solve that? I mean a switch should show the actual state of the light and the switch should also have the possibility to change the light on or off. I mean I'm not a programmer but it doesn't sounds like rocket science.

[image] molt: Is there a way to solve that? Yes, configure the switch as I have advised. That should solve it. Why will you not show the debug information that I keep asking for? What is coming out of the switch and what is going back into it in the failing condition? I can't do any more …
