Hi There,

I am a bit new to coding with the function-node. What I am trying to do:

I have Philips Hue lights and LIFX lights.

When I change the color of the Philips lights, I want to send this to the Lifx lights to change in the same colour.

The output of Philips is done by an array (if I'm right), like this:  
payload:  
0 : 255  
1 : 255  
2 : 255

I need to change this format to just be comma-seperated like:  
payload: 255,255,255

I made the following function-node:

```auto
var red = msg.payload[0]
var green = msg.payload[1]
var blue = msg.payload[2]

return [red, green, blue];

```

But it's still returning as:  
payload:  
0 : 255  
1 : 255  
2 : 255

How can I change this?

Please help me out, thanks!

Try

```auto
msg.payload = red+","+green+","+blue

```

Hi Zenofmud,

Thank you for the reply.

The following error is returning now:

Take a look at that link, rather than returning the payload, return a message object.

Nevermind,found it, had to remove the ".payload" in my return rule.

Thank you for helping me out!
