[{"id":"3640f1c3.dbf8de","type":"trigger","z":"ff81c2c4.ef9ce8","op1":"true","op2":"false","op1type":"bool","op2type":"bool","duration":"10","extend":true,"units":"s","reset":"fal…

this has got rid off the error, but if i run it once looks ok but second time the light stays switch on to start with and stays on longer than it should before starting to flash (dont get the exactly same sequence each time)

@gbond , To simplify code copy add a line with ``` at the begin and at the end of your code.

@gbond when you share code or flows in this forum, it helps to format it properly so it displays clearly. The post @cflurin has linked to (and to which I pointed you at much earlier on in this thread) describes how to do it.

ok read your post but i dont see what has changed am i missing some thing? the codeing looks exactly the same!

That's because you have not edited your post above, and formatted it as per the requests. If you want us to help you, you have to help us a little and format your code!

I think i have worked it out! "do you mean its lost it's colouring" sorry for being so slow
