This is really hard to explain quickly and/or easily. Really trying to keep it short: I can change the colour of button backgrounds depending on things happening. It is not CONSTANT. It is only when things change. I am using a pulsed event to determine if devices are on or off line. I have a …

You are absolutely correct! Had a good night's sleep. Stupid me, I WAS thinking about it but doing what solved the problem earlier but took "the easy way out" and used a pre-built node: RBE. This is the solution (part of flow): [{"id":"1967a0da.a953a7","type":"inject","z":"381d953d.4cf092",…

What does the Note at the bottom of the RBE info tab say ?

Thanks Colin. I'll look at it in a second. I have been feverishly digging my self into a BIG HOLE for the last ...... 6 hours. How ONE tiny winy spelling mistake can propagate thorough an ENTIRE flow! ARGH! I have tried sitting down with paper and writing the ideas down, then applying them. N…

Ok, it says: This works on a per msg.topic basis. This means that a single rbe node can handle multiple different topics at the same time. Which is ok. Yet, when I open the node, there is the: Property selector which can be set to payload. Sorry: IS set to payload. So I am guessing that pa…

If the problem is that messages arrives with different topics, why not to add a change node to set msg.topic to one specific just before the RBE and then will not be a problem anymore and will behave as you expect? Regards

No it isn't the node gets different topics. Let's try again: (Though I think I have it nutted now) This is the code in the function block I HAD: var colour = (msg.payload === "On-line")?"lime":"brown"; //node.warn("Selected colour is " + colour); msg = null; node.status({text:colour}); msg.backg…

David, In which is msg.topic not set? I haven't sent any example data for either input, so I'm confused.

Did you look at my example and make sure you understand the way it works? If you still cannot get it to work setup an example with the inject and debug node as I did, post it here and explain what it does and what you expected. Note that the RBE node only blocks or lets through messages as they ar…

Sorry maybe I didn't understood well, there is too long..... If the problem is as the title of your post that RBE is not working as you expect maybe try to set a debug and copy us the messages that coming out of the RBE to be able to better understand why. Regards

(This is getting frustrating. Not the replies: just what is happening.) This is a cut from the flow: [{"id":"c596bf8c.aa14d8","type":"function","z":"381d953d.4cf092","name":"","func":"var colour = (msg.payload === \"On-line\")?\"lime\":\"brown\";\n//node.warn(\"Selected colour is \" + colour);\…
