Welcome to the forum @SupportStation

Which state machine node are you using? Possibly node-red-contrib-something.

What do you mean by 'output square'?  
Can you create a simple flow just using inject nodes and state machine node to show the problem? If so then export that and paste it here.

See this post for how to post a flow - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)
