Try a very simple test to make sure your MQTT broker is working.  
You will need to edit my flow and insert the IP address for YOUR broker.

```auto
[{"id":"e6c38e507f61e2a1","type":"mqtt in","z":"8765833d3a37a777","name":"","topic":"test","qos":"2","datatype":"auto-detect","broker":"9bae5ec8.785a4","nl":false,"rap":true,"rh":0,"inputs":0,"x":330,"y":660,"wires":[["cbd5a4c2dae7fc55"]]},{"id":"79afd336daf458c5","type":"mqtt out","z":"8765833d3a37a777","name":"","topic":"test","qos":"","retain":"","respTopic":"","contentType":"","userProps":"","correl":"","expiry":"","broker":"9bae5ec8.785a4","x":510,"y":600,"wires":[]},{"id":"9df5cb7356e9bfec","type":"inject","z":"8765833d3a37a777","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"Hello world","payloadType":"str","x":340,"y":600,"wires":[["79afd336daf458c5"]]},{"id":"cbd5a4c2dae7fc55","type":"debug","z":"8765833d3a37a777","name":"Check","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","targetType":"msg","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":510,"y":660,"wires":[]},{"id":"9bae5ec8.785a4","type":"mqtt-broker","name":"154 server","broker":"192.168.1.154","port":"1883","clientid":"","autoConnect":true,"usetls":false,"protocolVersion":"4","keepalive":"60","cleansession":true,"autoUnsubscribe":true,"birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0","birthPayload":"","birthMsg":{},"closeTopic":"","closeQos":"0","closePayload":"","closeMsg":{},"willTopic":"","willQos":"0","willPayload":"","willMsg":{},"sessionExpiry":""}]

```

You should get this result when you click the Inject node.

I think @E1cid was probably referring to the Debug Message button.

These videos will explain the basics to you.

Maybe someone has already said this...

You probably need to use this option in the switch node:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/b/8b6482dcba1d1aa542da67186b082fa835a4ed01.png)

That should ensure that when you press a physical switch, your dashboard switch will change to match the light's status.
