Hello,
as a newbie to node-red I may ask a simple question but for me it has been a stopper for the last couple of days.
The scenario:
On an ESP8266 I run Tasmota to control 3 switches via timers. Ie. Timer1 sets the starttime for switch 2 and timer2 sets the off-time, nexts pair for the next switch and so forth.
I can set the timers from node-red vis mqtt in tasmota but I want to display the timers on the dashboard .
Below is what I "constructed" in node-red:

This is what the console in Tasmota shows:
[22:20:30] cmnd/tas-beregnung/timers1

... and this is what the debug-node produces

The problem seems to be the long path the the var in the object. For example:
To get the value of time in timer1 the path shows as "payload.timers.timers1.timer1.time".
When I try to reference this in the textnode nothigs shows.
What do I do wron or how do I have to approach this problem.
Thank you for any help.
