Moved to general and renamed title.

Did you connect a debug node? If yes, what is the output? We cannot import your flow as it requires your equipment/home assistant.

Dont know how to add te the debug node.. Its realy hard to get started as a noob... Maybe you have a good tutorial? I copyd a code from the internet for lighting and built he same on node red but it does not work...

Follow the [tutorials in the documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/tutorials/first-flow).

There is also a [playlist on youtube available](https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6&v=ksGeUD26Mw0) that will explain how node-red works (watch them all)
