Hi I’m struggling to make a dashboard slider work as a brightness level controller for a hue light bulb. I already have an injection node (below) with JavaScript that works to set a specific brightness level , it sends the following message to turn on and set the correct levels - but I can’t seem…

The template output is a string, so you have to convert the string to an object, add a json node to the template output.

the (not ui) template node can also output JSON directly if you want [{"id":"f0a3358.40408c8","type":"ui_slider","z":"d511095d.512808","name":"","label":"slider","group":"ccbdd82d.3c19b8","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":true,"topic":"","min":0,"max":"100","step":1,"x":155,"y":1125,"wires"…

Right, I missed the setting output as at the bottom.

what has this to do with Hue and Dashboard sliders ? Please start another thread for another topic.
