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 :

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
> **[node-red-contrib-yeelight-compat-hue](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-yeelight-compat-hue)**
>
> A collection of Node-RED nodes for controlling and observing Yeelight lighting devices, compatible with node-red-contrib-node-hue flows.
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
