Making a educated guess here, I presume teleperiod is the command and 10 and 40 are the value.
Try setting `cmnd/tasmota_dht11/TelePeriod` as the topic, and set `msg.payload` to `10` or `40` after the switch node, using a change node on each wire.
The ai response on this duckduckgo serach asistant seems to think so to [tasmota teleperiod command at DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=tasmota+teleperiod+command&ia=web)
