Same output different response

In the flow below i'm trying to get a timed alarm to trygger a yeelight. it works when triggered from the inject node, but the excact same json code does not work when triggered from the trigger node. i have also tried using a function node but that doesnt work either, have been working on it for quit a few hours now. Im sure there must be people who can explain this. i have been looking at the full debug and the outputs are different as well.

this is the output for the failing one :
8/20/2018, 8:14:01 PMnode: 43f4d1f7.07f8dmsg : Object

object

topic: ""

payload: object

on: true

bri: 171

duration: 5000

_msgid: "82e4f1d9.fe024"

this is the output when i inject the exact same code and it turns the light on.

It is not possible to import your flow. I had to tweak it (hopefully without modifying the flow). However you use a couple of nodes that I dont have installed, so no way to test...

I provide the flow below in case someone else is able to test...

  1. what node are you using to communicate with the light?
  2. I notice a lot of differences between the debug outputs

try to send the same data and see what happens.

thanks both for responding the node i use is this one

i am sending the exact same data to the node just one from an inject and one from a trigger node thats what has me confounded
i mean i copied and pasted the data from one to the other
i forgot to say that when it runs it seems to crash and reset the dashboard
and even more confusing i am able to send data to the same node on the same page from a function node but that doesnt work in this flow so color me confused
its 3 in the morning here so more testing tomorrow

i did some more tesing and it seems the schedex node is to blame
i switched it with the bigtimer and the flow works fine
thank you for your help
