I know the mqtt out node is not correct it is an example of the mqtt message I want to send.

But how ?

Have you read the api

documentation
the second bullet point describes the topic and payload it will accept

thank your for the response.
yes I have and if I use an inject node and send
payload: on
topic: shellies/shelly1-3494547070DD/relay/0/command

into a mqtt out node it works :0)

How do I make an "inject node" that I can trigger?

Use a change node after a switch node to determine if temp greater or less than.

Ahh :0) I read your suggestion and thought that does not work I have to change both the topic and the payload.
And as it turns out you can :0) so thank you a loth I was really getting frustarted.

Thanks again
Frank
