I have a PHP script which returns states for the extensions on my home's phone network. I recently moved from the exec node to the daemon node which bizarrely necessitated a couple of unwanted changes to the way my flow worked. I had to introduce two function nodes to be able to split the messages …

Please see this post - How to share code or flow json and edit you post above (pencil icon). Presently, the flow cannot be be loaded, because Discourse makes changes to it.

Thanks Paul - done - interestingly I did again as I had before select the code and click the preformatted text button, but this did not: This will automatically insert three back-tick characters - ````` - on their own line before and after the code. instead it just inserted one ` at the beginnin…

[IMG_3938] I think this shows what's happening - occasionally a message ISN'T being split and is causing the wrong messages to be sent for the wrong situations. Could I simply split after the first "status: $" somehow?

I've had another pop at trying to do things differently (doing some string cleanup before feeding to the switch node etc) and STILL for some reason messages aren't reliably being routed to the right nodes. I know not why. I've looked at the various debug nodes and the messages come in from the PHP s…

First work out, using debug nodes, which node is failing. Then post the debug showing what is going into that node, show us the config of the node and tell us what is or is not happening. We don't need the whole flow and lots of debug, just this information.

Hi, In an attempt to help - I have a few questions... Are you in control of the values returned from the PHP node? (i.e. if it greatly simplified things in the flow, could/would you modify the PHP output if needed?) Can you show us what comes out of the PHP node? (use the copy button on the …

The annoying thing is it seems to vary each time which of the nodes do and don't work properly. I have every confidence that the output of the script must vary ever so slightly somehow (?!) because occasionally it works perfectly. Mostly, though, one of the mqtt outputs fails to receive the 'idle' s…

[image] dclear: Yes I could easily modify the PHP output as it sits on my server Then I believe the simplest solution would be to modify the PHP output to return valid JSON. Then you will be able to access msg.x and msg.y (or whatever you call them. Example, instead of sending this... […

It works more reliably if you click the button then paste the text in.
