Welcome to the forum @nicolab74

Do you mean you are getting status messages from a Status node and need to extract data from that message? If so then show us some sample messages and what you need to get out.

You would normally use a switch node to filter/route the incoming payload status from your incoming node.

i.e  
property `payload`  
rule1  
`==` (equals) `A/Z` (string) `home`  
rule2  
`==` (equals) `A/Z` (string) `not_home`

You can use a Switch node configured to test if msg.payload Includes that text
