I am trying to set the value of a input text sensor in HA from node red. The value that I want to set is `/love`. But when I inject` /love` payload into the HA node, the value of the text sensor changes to `&#x2F;love` instead of `/love`. Why is it so? How can I solve it?

```auto

Try using `{{{payload}}}`
