Would need some help. I have a lamp I try to be able to change color and brightness. If I write {"brightness": 150} in the data field, it changes brightness, but how do you write such in function node has tried to read me to this but does not get wiser. Also tried chanche node but even there I did…

Hi, It is good to see you are playing with Node-Red. Have a read of some of the threads on how to share nodes: How to share If I write {"brightness": 150} in the data filed I'm guessing that is the node for the bulb? Could you maybe say what this node is called? How confident are you to do …

[image] Higgis: If I write {"brightness": 150} in the data field Tell us the full name of that node please (probably node-red-contrib-something). Without that we cannot know exactly what you have to do.

Have tested a few different chanche node but get none to work. If I check debug, it seems to send my value on britness like something else. [{"id":"e5f36ec.bf4639","type":"tab","label":"Flow 17","disabled":false,"info":""},{"id":"4ada4ecd.9704f","type":"api-call-service","z":"e5f36ec.bf4639","name"…

Without knowing which node he is using we don't know where the brightness should be in the message.

Please see this post for how to share your flow, and try again. The flow you posted is not importable. However, as I said before, we need to know the name of the node you are using (node-red-contrib-something problable), assuming you are using a contrib node, so we can look it up to see what format it needs the data to be in.
