Thank's to help from the forum users, I manage to get data from sensors, combined and formatted/sorted them and finnaly store them to a folder for later analysis.
In parallel I use dashboard to visualize the data. A simple monitoring dash with graph and labels.
Now that this is working the last thing I would like to achieve is to control wether or not I start recording the data and I want to do this using a button or switch on te dashboard.
I don't understand how to implement the switch. I though it would be simple! Here is a simple dashboard/flow to attemp at triggering something:

I search the forum for things like trigger flow and dashboard triggers / switch but found nothing. Maybe I am not using the good keywords. There must be something simliar available?
