My message payload is a value of X, its always changing, in this example it's 33.13.
How would I go about declaring it so I can use it in the position or value I have as "X" in this example
Thank you for your help
There are numerous ways to do this, here are examples of 4 ways.

I'm just a beginner, and to be honest I'm lost with your code. Can you break out one so I can review it.
Thank you
To see the 4 examples - copy the code and then in Node-RED - click on the hamburger menu top-right - select Import - paste into the big box and click on import
You can then see them all
I personally would think that the template one is the easiest to understand and play around to suit what you want
Got it now, this makes a big difference.
Thank you
I don't think I'm asking the question properly.
the string I send to my controller is
what ever I set in "value": "X" presently ( "value": "85")
gets written.
how do i make this my payload value?
