Hi! I am newbie and I have a question.  
I am receiving this data through Firebase and sending it to an ESP32 device via MQTT. It happens that I only receive the data if I click on the "deploy", is there any way I can receive this data automatically through node-red?

Thanks!

What is the orange node? Connect the debug node directly to it and see if it is sending anything. If not then that is the problem.

The orange node is for receiving Firebase data. The debug node only receives the information when I click on "Deploy" too ... Is there any way to automate this? Thanks for the answer.

I think that is the nature of the firebase node. When you connect or a value changes, you get a message. If that isn't happening, raise an issue on the repository.
