Hi All, Im new with Node RED and i'm trying to create a dashboard to control my home. So far i have been able to do most with the information found on this forum. But i cant figure out how to create one button that sends 2 different mqtt topics, alternating. Some background information why i need …

not able to get iconify to work on my end, but here is it with MD icon [{"id":"ec217c2a.a3711","type":"ui_switch","z":"57675e72.26a0d8","name":"","label":"switch","tooltip":"","group":"2e58add5.e83e22","order":2,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":false,"decouple":"false","topic":"","style":"","onvalue…

Here is an example using function node and context storage, as button value needs to be stored between presses [{"id":"6421eda3.e174a4","type":"ui_button","z":"57675e72.26a0d8","name":"","group":"b055fa85.83d6e","order":1,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":false,"label":"button","tooltip":"","color":"…

Have you considered using a ui-switch instead?

Hi Colin, With the ui-switch i can only send 1 topic. eg, homie/homey-topic/fireplaceoff but i want this switch to send this topic: homie/homey-topic/fireplaceoff AND homie/homey-topic/fireplaceon, alternating

The switch has 2 outputs one for off and one for on. You would then move msg.payload to msg.topic. [{"id":"c5d88c3.9b074f","type":"debug","z":"57675e72.26a0d8","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":610,"y…

this code for the button node works, but i'm not sure what the purpose is of the switch node.

i have added how to construct topic in function node take a look. You do not have to use the topic input in btton node, you can create msg.topic after the button press. The switch node was there for example of how to get two different outputs, after switch use a change node to move msg.payload to m…

Oh i see. The button works perfect! Is it also possible to use an google mi icon and increase the size of it? mi-whatshot works but mi-2x mi-whatshot not.

@E1cid a complete different problem you probably also know the answer to: I currently have the standard lightbulb from font awesome that is yellow when on and black when off, but i would like to use my own custom .png file when a lamp is on and a different .png file when the lamp is off. both files…

If you have your setup connected to the internet, you can use iconify icons [{"id":"c5d88c3.9b074f","type":"debug","z":"11af8890.7bdd97","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":670,"y":1180,"wires":[]},{"id"…
