Hi guys, again probably a really simple question, but, again, I can´t figure it how somehow :roll_eyes: Here is what I want to accomplish. I have a function node which is triggered when my outdoor light sensor falls under a certain threshold. This function node should now trigger two things Ope…

Or return both payloads in same array. if (global.get("DayMode")== true) { return [{payload: "put:/nodes/74/attributes/271?target_value=0"}, {payload: {"on": false}}]`; }else{ return null; } If you need to return other message parts, then you will need to clone the msg and then return th…

When you use ‘return’ you leave the function. Take a look in the documentation about the function node and it use of asynchronous messages

Beautiful @E1cid - that was exactly what I was looking for :smiley: Btw: Way more helpful than these constant "look into the documentation" answers :wink:

[image] RonMa: Way more helpful than these constant "look into the documentation" answers But have you learnt as much as if you had spent a little while reading the docs, reading relevant parts of the w3schools site and working out how to do it yourself?

[image] RonMa: Nothing is more helpful than learning by solving actual problems I agree with you 100% but in this case, I gave you the reason your code wasn’t doing what you wanted it to do. Then I pointed you to the documentation that would give you your solution so you could learn more by s…

You did point out that the return ended the function, so second return is unreachable, but asynchronous messages was not the most relevant answer. All the OP really needed was pushing to send both responses in the same return, he could of read about asynchronous messages all day with out understand…

[image] E1cid: All the OP really needed was pushing to send both responses in the same return Or use node.send() which emits a message without exiting the function There are always many roads leading to Rome :wink: RTFM: Finding and reading the docs is in many cases not easy. But pointing t…

[image] Christian-Me: Or use node.send() which emits a message without exiting the function Yes there are many ways to skin a cat, but As said not the most relevant. there was no need to use asynchronous messages. Again this is moot.

No @Colin, in fact I learned more. Nothing is more helpful than learning by solving actual problems rather than just reading through documentations that might or might not address the issue one is trying to solve. Therefore, I´m really grateful if people take their precious time to drop me some lines of code that I can then use to go on with self-teaching.
