In my status window in Domoticz i see the complete value and can not change it  
I only want to see the last part (active,inactive,running)  
But i don't want to see BSH.Common.EnumType.OperationState

There is a key and a value.

pass the msg into a function node...

```auto
msg.topic = msg.payload.key;
msg.payload = msg.payload.value.split(".").pop();
return msg;

```

.. then to a debug node.

note: There’s a great page in the docs that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.
