Hello,
I wish I could drive (start and stop) a motor with the switch on my smartphone and if the movement is detected by the limit switch stop the movement. No worries with the use of GPIO.
I tested several functions but with the switch of the ui I can not operate.
Could you help me.
Thank you
If you have written a function in a flow, even if they don't work, it is useful to share them here as often a member of the community can see where you are going wrong and suggest how you can improve your flow.
This is the first time I posted on this forum and I start in Node red.
I hope I have taken the right data.

I can't see a function node i there...
So the labels underneath the nodes might help explain some of what is happening
Your dashboard switch is sending "on" but your RPi Switch is expecting a 0 or 1
Take a look at the change node to change on or off into 1 or 0
Have you read the ReadMe page of the XOR node? I assume it is https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-boolean-logic ? The part entitled ####BooleanLogic might be or interest...
I had looked. What is problematic is that I can make it work if I replace the switch with an Inject.
I guess what I want to do with the XOR needs to be done with an If function but I do not know how to do it.
You started this thread by saying you had tried several functions what have you tried?
If it works with inject but not with an alternative technique then you are not sending the same message content. Use a debug node to see what you are actually sending it.
Configure the debug nodes to show the complete message.
I'm not sure I did the right thing. I have this.
With Inject
msg : Object
object
_msgid: "6bb413af.db164c"
topic: ""
payload: true
Witch switch
msg : Object
object
payload: true
socketid: "EZnvBbW-qcTwrxVFAAAB"
_msgid: "85fcfbbc.fe51a8"
I double click on the debug and I have selected complete msg object and selected the 2 items
Stick a debug on the PIN 3 node also to show what it is sending to the boolean node
I test another approach with an if function.
But I start, I learn to do
if Switch = 1 and Pin = 0 -> Motor = 1.
if Switch = 1 -> Motor = 0.
It takes me time since I can not understand the structure of the function module.
I test
if (msg.payload=="SwitchOn" && msg.payload=="PinOff")
{
msg.payload=1;
}
else if (msg.payload=="SwitchOff")
{
msg.payload=0;
}
return msg;
But write msg.payload=="SwitchOn" && msg.payload=="PinOff", how to write this correctly?
I test another possibility

But does not work
Are you sure you are not setting a topic in the switch? I thought the XOR node needs topics to tell the two inputs apart.
Thank you everyone. Colin found, he was missing the topic on the switch.
If anyone can look at my other two solutions, I'd like to move on.
A big thank-you.
