Super Thanks Dave.
I’m gonna try this today itself in my lab. Don’t know how to say I’d love to learn this just don’t know how to start.
This is incredible stuff. Tons of Thanks.
I've just spotted a 'typo' in the FSM block that handles the relay outputs. A new flow has been uploaded.

not sure what was wrong but when you created the first flow there was those indicators and telling me more about it.
in this second flow, i've tried to add some mqtt in/out nodes and switch nodes but there's no indication telling the gate opening or closing. modified i guess ? i'm still gonna try this again
The FSM function node should indicate what state the 'state regsiter' is in (Stopped, Opening or Closing).
You'll need to get an input from the MQTT nodes into the appropriate flow variable. Probably the easiest way is to copy the section, from my first flow, and replace the UI-buttons with your MQTT-In node.
As a quick test you could insert some 'inject' nodes where the UI-buttons are to see if the state machine moves from one state to another.
I'm busy for the next hour, but when I have a break I'll 'cobble' a flow together for you with test inputs from the buttons and limit switches. I also forgot I should have initialised the flow variables in the second flow.
Post the flow you have created so far and I'll take a look at it.

sharing the current flow i am certain it's terribly messed up
removed the flow sharing fresh
Dave,
Also, i've been trying to correct some of my dumb errors, modified flow couple times
i think i found my mistake with Broker configuration but there are errors still.
Edited the reply with the flow
now when i press open it opens
when i press close it closes
when i press stop it stops
but the issue i think is in a sscenario if i press open and the gate is opening and i press close it stops which means without stop it's also ok...but again that's not the right way...but mqtt i think i have corrected. please comment Because what I am observing it that stop switch is dictating when open means clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation for the motor

i added my mqtt in/out nodes. tested works but few doubts
1-there is one second delay, not sure it there's specific purpose
2-also there is no indication to movement with motor current state or gate position.

there's something wrong, when i press open nothing happens
and the moment i press close the flow is triggering multiple instant messages (see below picture) debug section
Also when i press STOP or CLOSE the red color appears on those buttons after i tap the latest one.
but not with OPEN button..it stays as is. motor is not moving because of constant messages sent by function nodes
Can I ask what's coming in on the two MQTT-In nodes?? They shouldn't be connected to the FSM.
pasting below logs from my syslog server
basically it's reporting the status for the mqtt

The constant messages are because the FSM is triggered every 'second'. You could re-code the 'Show RLx state' node so it only sends a MQTT-Out message if there has been a change.
I didn' think you would be connecting it to a motor until you had got the test flow working (debugged).
OK - that looks like the feedback from Tasmota (SonOff) indicating the status of 'POWER'.
Please can you disconnect it from the input of the FSM.
it's nothing major just a car power-window motor on my desk in a plastic tray...i refer as my lab
anyway i've removed the MQTT stat nodes which were connected to the FSM
now i'm trying to find the every-second trigger code out

Is it possible for you to remove all the automatic triggering via scripts, keeping it purely manual operated.
I’m testing all with limit switches and buttons manually with the motor in a safe plastic tray
It looks like you have a number of garage-door flows in your workspace. I suggest you disable the ones you don't need or you're not working on. You should also change the debug settings (top-right of Node-RED screen) to be 'Current Flow' otherwise you might end-up chasing your tail (as the 'on' messages could be coming from more than one flow).
I've just tried the test-flow on my PC and I get a series of 'on' messages - but they stop once I click the appropriate limit_switch.
Well I'm sure you could have a go at doing that. Don't forget to keep your original flow (e.g. export it to NR library).
Sure will do. I’m sitting at it again and again for few minutes. Have Straight 10 hours to deal with it.
Here are two modified RLx nodes that should only output ONCE when there is a change..

PS: This will make a great project, once you get it working. Could then post in 'Share Your Projects'.
Please could you edit the log-listing above (reduce its length) as it will put people off reading this thread.
