Hey everybody, I have a problem with changing the state of my switch. Some words about the setup: I am using a smart plug controlled via MQTT to switch a plug. This works so far: [grafik] The problem: I am also switching the plug using my Alexa. If this happens, the switch is in the wrong positi…

change the setting in your change node (Boolean not String): [change]

Did you try the example I uploaded? does it work?

Unforunately not. As you see in my comment above, MQTT is "OFF", but the switch stays "ON" on both sides...

Not sure I understand you, but in my example I send true or false not on or off.

Well okay ... I changed the ON/OFF to true/false ... But that is obviosly not the problem, since it is still not working. If the state of the lamp (MQTT) ist changed externaly (e.g. via Alexa), the button does not change, although the MQTT sends an input Here are the nodes: [{"id":"9f23ef6d.eac84…

That has done the trick!! Thanks very much, now this actually quite little thing which cost me hours is finally working!! Thaaaank you! That's the working example: [{"id":"9f23ef6d.eac848","type":"mqtt in","z":"86e742aa.4f6e","name":"couchlicht","topic":"stat/couchlicht/POWER","qos":"0","datatype…

You can simplify your flow if you change the setting in the ui-switch: [{"id":"375931c3.7f0abe","type":"mqtt in","z":"7c6a9ec3.f1512","name":"couchlicht","topic":"stat/couchlicht/POWER","qos":"0","datatype":"auto","broker":"462b3048.b7db9","x":340,"y":1640,"wires":[["9f153f65.aa6d7","a7067cfc.45d86…

Hi @cflurin and @HeyJonny , I'm trying to use this same function but not having any luck with getting my MQTT output node to trigger when using my MQTT in or Inject nodes. Only the Dashboard Switch is working. Do the Link In and Link Out nodes still function as shown in the examples above or has som…

So I think I'm misunderstanding the switch node and that the flows in the examples above are really only concerned with the switch status and not actually triggering any other out nodes. Assuming I'll need to separate flow or change to my current flow to actually switch my rpi GPIO out for when the…

Welcome to the forum @LeelooAuto , I started looking at this but I am not clear what the problem you are having is, and haven't got time to start wading through an old thread to see what it is all about, so can I suggest that you start a new thread, explain exactly what you are trying to do and what …
