As in the image, be able to attach a debug node to the input of the mqtt out node. To see what's coming in to that node. As it stands now, I'd have to insert a dummy node before the mqtt node that would just pass through messages so that I could see what was going through there by attaching to THA…

Yes - the shift click to move all the wires to a debug node (or passthrough) in one go is the current best solution.

This is what I imagined it would look like [image]

You could always add a MQTT in node listening to the same topic as the MQTT publish node... [mqtt]

apologies... no offence intended ... but uuurgh...

If only the debug node had an output pin so you could drop it in-line. :smiley:

Joking aside, it would solve the msg cloning (to an extent)

[image] Steve-Mcl: had an output pin so you could drop it in-line We jest, but it's actually quite a good idea (I've seen the v1.0.0 post ). Why not??

That would require moving sometimes multiple connections from one node to another multiple times as you add and remove the debug nodes to the project. That can add to the chances of something going wrong. A missed, lost. or miswired connection as you move things around.

Shift-click will drag them all at once so nothing will be dropped

To be honest, I didn't know about the shift-click thing. Which helps, but makes me wonder about how many other features aren't well known. I would have moved each connection one at a time.
