I am pretty new in Node-Red, I'm driven here because Home Assistant's automation is slow.
I made my first flow! and want to make sure I didn't ignore some basics of Node Red and didn't overcomplicate
Scenario:
I have an Aeotec nanomote. This is a 4 keys button switch. I want to enable with One switch to toggle some devices (without using Zwave associatons).
Nanomote uses Central Scenes. When you press a button the MQTT payload receives for one second the Value "Pressed" and after a bit Updates the topic with value "Inactive"
This is my Trigger state
I want to achieve the following:
- If bulb which is another MQTT device is on, turn it off...
- If bulb is off, turn it on.
My flow is not EndState one, I miss sending the state update to the MQTT Topic. But I do debug it using this way.
My flow:

I will in the end replace the end flow state with the MQTT Target.
I also have another Flow which updates flow.lightState using an mqtt subscription on the Bulb Endpoint.
Thanks,
