How to "forbid" to user "ON"/"OFF" the "ui switch" if the variable is offline?

General

Could you advise me?
I get stuck, can't to find are solution, if the variable "connection_cl" is not online, then the user has no possibility to switch "ON"/"OFF" the "ui_switch".
I made such a crutch, but I don't like it!
Maybe there are better solutions?

From the switch node help:

Setting msg.enabled to false will disable the switch widget.

You may use this feature to achieve the behaviour you want. You have to design your flow to always send a disable message to the switch node when your variable "connection_cl" is not online (for whatever that means).

I have no idea where I should insert this?
Maybe i need to add ""msg.enabled":true," in the"inject" node something like this?

{
    "update_available": true,
    "msg.enabled":true,
    "status": "ON",
    "linkquality": 76,
    "brightness": 254,
    "color_temp": 254,
    "color": {
        "x": 0.4599,
        "y": 0.4106
    }
}

You want to enable / disable the dashboard switch, so the msg.enabled property should be given to the concerned switch node.
