Check the input from the PLC with a debug node to ensure it is actually a valid boolean

That does not change anything, i have tried other things to trigger a function block.  
it only works if i trigger with inject node, i can send a timestamp or whatever and it will work.

but in automatic flow it will not.

```auto
{

    msg.payload = {
        
        "onOff": true
        
    }

}
return msg;

```

Print the whole message in debug node, not just the payload.

Thank you,

i found it, there was an hidden topic,  
added delete msg.topic; to the function block.

and now it works 🙂
