Hi and welcome to the forum.

In reply to your question:
I'll keep it basic for now as it is/can be tricky.

The message is a JSON formatted bit of text.

Put the JSON node on the output of the MQTT-IN node then send it to a TEXT node.

@percy no need for the json node. The mqtt-in node can figure out what the format is, just look at the options:

Thanks for that. I didn't know that was now possible.

I am mostly using NR 2.x and it isn't known what Percy is using
Sorry.
