Hi,
when I start the web page, the button´s label is not shown. It's only shown if the button is pressed and then the it stays on. How do I fix it?
TIA

Bit tricky to say with just this code but you will need to either preload the button text or use an inject node to send `msg.payload = 'whatever'` on start up.
The button will have to feed `msg.payload = 'whatever'` or `msg.payload = 'X'` when pressed, or toggled, depending on how you are using the button, in order to update the text & icon.
