Hi,  
I use the node-red-contrib-tasmota to control my devices. I want to set the color of a color picker from the output of this device.

I have set my color picker to output an object. I have written a function to convert the array of numbers the tasmota nodes returns to an object that looks like the one outputed by the color picker.

let res = {  
h: msg.payload[0],  
s: msg.payload[1] / 100,  
l: msg.payload[2] / 100  
}

The hue gets set to red and lightness gets set to 0, but the color changes correctly, so the reverse way works

Sorry, I don't understand that statement, or what question you are asking.  
Also show us the input to the function node (as shown in a debug node), the output from the function node, and what output you expect.
