Hello, I am using rtl_433 in my node red project and have the need to take actions within node red based upon the data within payload.code of my (msg.payload : Object). Here is an example of the message from the rtl_433 node: [rtl1] I will be keeping rtl_433 running and listening for 433mhz signa…

Yes, the icon does not change, which is a pity, it means you have to click the dropdown to see which one you have selected. You have selected the wrong one. The data is getiing written to the file by the second Change node, but the inject node is trying to read it, since you have the wrong context …

[image] Tomadoggy: Hmmm, does not work quite righ What was wrong with my suggestion?

I am not seeing the last state "holding" upon node red redeploy. I am injecting into switch with the options shown below: [reset]

I see, you want it to be retained over a node-red restart or deploy. The way to do that, I think, is to put your flow.switch1 in persistent context storage so it will not be cleared on startup. I think you might have to complement the value before feeding it to the switch as the flow variable con…

Sounds reasonable, by your statement "Persistent context storage" I am assuming that you mean that I choose "file" in the copy msg.payload change node that is on the output of the switch...correct? [persist]

Yes, assuming you have set that up as the persistent context store, which presumably you did using these docs. [image] Working with context : Node-RED

Colin, I think I may have found a NR bug. Given your attention to these forums, I am assuming you either work with them or at least have influence so I am sharing here. When setting the flow.xxx within the change node if I use an underscore _ within the flow name. Things stop working for in…

Can you create a simple flow demonstrating the problem? Perhaps an inject and change nodes to set it then another to pick it up and feed to a debug node. I am not a developer, just an enthusiast hoping to feed something back to the community. Edit: Or maybe just for a start post the flow showing t…

I am working on verifying my assumption, but there appears to be something else going on.

No matter what I do for the reset switch state inject...I only get "undefined" from the output of that inject node. I have tried what you state above and other changes but to no avail. This is the setup in the reset UI switch inject node: [reset2] The switch state is being captured from the UI s…

I believe I have it properly set up for both as I have a state-trail contrib graph that is storing data:

filestore
