You have only exported one node.
I was expecting a flow with inject nodes that controls the plug on/off

Ok, so on the assumption that does work then you do just need to get true or false into msg.payload.
So the next question is what property in the message coming from the heater node do you want to convert to true/false?

If i am thinking and looking right it will be currentHeaterStatus.
Se that it goes on/off if i change set temp in heater node

OK, so you want to test that and set the output accordingly. There are several ways of doing it but in a function node you just need something like
```auto
if (msg.payload.currentHeaterStatus === "0n") {
msg.payload = true
} else {
msg.payload = false
}
return msg
```
or you can write that in one line but a bit less clearly using
```auto
msg.payload = (msg.payload.currentHeaterStatus === "on")
return msg
```
or you do it in a Change node using a JSONata expression.

Thanks alot. I have been struggling with this a long time.
sonthing is easy in node red and some is very hard to to. spes when it comes to put in string and tings like that in node. starting to get thing on place now so next is to get it look nice in a dashbord. Again tanks or the help.
this was working
msg.payload = (msg.payload.currentHeaterStatus === "on")
return msg
