Hi it seem very easy but i got trouble how to find out how to do it

i have created an input\_boolean in HA for a blink doorbell.

The only way i found how to intercept the doorbell press, is to create a routine in alexa to toggle it on

this part is working and i can see it in nodered

what i want to do is after receiving a change in nodered, is to turn back the input boolean to off

how can i do it

thanks
