Hi guys!

I have bollean inputs and want to have an output which is TRUE if ONE of the three inputs is true.

What‘s the easiest way to do that?

Wishes  
Andreas

This is an easy one - but I suspect that the question isn't quite right 🙂

Just use a switch node and check if payload is true

It will pass the message on if any message that arrives is true

...but what if 2 of the inputs are true?
