I am simply trying to create a subflow where i can set an environment variable that is then used within the subflow as the msg.payload to be sent over MQTT. Apparently i dont get the syntax right because it just wont work. Surely this is dead simple - so simple that i cant find any thread or how-to video even mentioning it!
Here is the current state of my hair-pulling:
[{"id":"8ee57000.919ee","type":"subflow","name":"set scene","info":"","category":"","in":[{"x":200,"y":320,"wires":[{"id":"49044512.b90e3c"}]}],"out":[],"env":[{"name":"scene","type":"str","value":"","ui":{"icon":"font-awesome/fa-paint-brush"}}],"color":"#3FADB5","icon":"node-red-dashboard/ui_colour_picker.png"},{"id":"49044512.b90e3c","type":"change","z":"8ee57000.919ee","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"{scene}","tot":"env"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":340,"y":320,"wires":[["8b1a6923.814a78"]]},{"id":"8b1a6923.814a78","type":"mqtt out","z":"8ee57000.919ee","name":"","topic":"scene","qos":"","retain":"","broker":"750b4b2d.152d34","x":530,"y":320,"wires":[]},{"id":"750b4b2d.152d34","type":"mqtt-broker","z":"","name":"Aedes","broker":"localhost","port":"1883","clientid":"","usetls":false,"compatmode":false,"keepalive":"60","cleansession":true,"birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0","birthPayload":"","closeTopic":"","closeQos":"0","closePayload":"","willTopic":"","willQos":"0","willPayload":""},{"id":"86b5e517.e0cfb8","type":"subflow:8ee57000.919ee","z":"84deed27.da601","name":"","env":[{"name":"scene","value":"cleaning","type":"str"}],"x":540,"y":560,"wires":[]}]
Could any of you smart people please end my misery?
