I want to change the color and the lable text based on the input "on" and "off".  
The color change works but not the lable change.  
What is the problem?

```auto
let state = msg.payload.state;
msg.ui_update = {}
if (state === "ON") {
    msg.ui_update.label = "EGWZ-TV ON";
    node.send(msg);
    msg.ui_update.textColor = "red";
    return msg;
};

if (state === "OFF"){
    msg.ui_update.lable = "EGWZ-TV OFF";
    node.send(msg);
    msg.ui_update.textColor = "white";
    return msg;
};

```

You have a typo in the `if(state === "OFF")` block (and this post title), `lable` should be `label`.

Hi Budd,  
thanks for the quick response!  
I changed lable but it still does not change the text.

```auto
msg.ui_update = {};

node.warn(msg.payload.state)

if (msg.payload.state === "ON") {
    msg.ui_update.textColor = "red";
    node.send(msg);
    msg.ui_update.lable = "EGWZ-TV ON";
    return msg;
};

if (msg.payload.state === "OFF"){
    msg.ui_update.textColor = "white";
    node.send(msg);
    msg.ui_update.lable = "EGWZ-TV OFF";
    return msg;
};

```
