Phew! First couple days with node-red and I'm mostly converted over as far as my mission critical functions. I imported a wake-up alarm from here: [https://www.wouterbulten.nl/blog/tech/custom-wake-up-light-with-node-red/](https://www.wouterbulten.nl/blog/tech/custom-wake-up-light-with-node-red/)

But while the 1% turn on works, the get/increase light setting does not.

This is the error I get: 7/12/2019, 9:25:02 AM[node: Get new light setting](http://xxxxx:1880/#)msg : string[55]

"Error get-template: Request failed with status code 500"

Thanks for any help!

what is the (readable) debug output of the `1 minute loop` and what does the `Get new light setting node` accept as input ?

Hopefully I'm doing this right. Here's debug output from 1 minute loop:

I don't know how to answer your second question, sorry (do you mind directing me how to do so?)
