@Jpsy I was so glad to find your solution, but it doesn't work. I explicitely copied your code. What I have in my subflow:
// show status message at subflow node
let value = msg.payload === true ? "on" : "off";
let statusMsg = { fill:"green", shape:"dot", text:"Automatic: "+ value };
return {payload:statusMsg};
This is a working code in the case of getting my on/off result out of the subflow. But no status message and no output on "output 3".
What i find out:
I copied the flow out of subflow in a testflow. Of course I got an additional button on the dashboard. Using original switch, nothing happens as before. But if I use the new switch (from outside the subflow) I get also the message and status out of the subflow!?
I'm confused? What's wrong? Is it not allowed to use dashboard nodes inside subflows??
Here the whole subflow, but it need the gate-node:
