In the picture, the two pictures I want to be alternating are the two with the forklifts in it, where the air vent on the top right is open or closed.

It would help if you share the part of code generating an image. someone with expertise in this area would help.

Hi @Jhontan14,

This question has come up numerous times before. For example try [this](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dashboard-image-from-msg-payload/2317/3) one.
