Hello Commnunity,
may someone can push me into the right direction.
I simply want to have a ui_switch on the dashboard (ON/OFF) synchronized with a global.variable (also e.g. ON/OFF). Goal is that I'm able to switch a device ON and OFF using the ui_switch on the dashboard and also switch the same device via the global.variable from any Node-RED tab. Both, the value of the global.variable and the state of the ui_switch, should indicate the same state any time.
The device should be turned ON/OFF by checking the global.variable state and send it to the device. I also have to use the global.variable value in other flows (e.g. if device is ON then...).
I tried several approaches but came always to the point where I got no sync between the two components or generated an infinite loop. I'm not familiar with coding so may an obvious and easy solution is something I don't see.
Thanks for your support!
Regards
Marco
