Hi, I' a newbie on nodered.
I try to switch my aqara-plug through my aqara-cube.
Cube and plug are already registered on zigbee2mqtt (raspi).
By Alexa-node and mqtt-out I can switch the plug already by voice. These construct was simple.
But now I'have a problem how to tell my plug to turn on when I rotate the cube.
With mqtt.fx I subscribed zigbee2mqtt/kubus and when I rotate the cube left
{"battery":91,"voltage":2985,"linkquality":94,"side":4,"angle":-55.82,"from_side":2,"to_side":4,"action":"rotate_left"}
On the other hand zigbee2mqtt/plug/set switches my plug on and off.
So which nodes should I use and connect ? mqtt-in, function, swicht?
I googeled an red a lot over the last days. But I got no glue to solve my problem by myself.
So please help me a little bit....
You seems to be very close. I put together a proposed solution but I don´t have how to test for lacking an aqara-cube.
The flow would be something like below:
The upper part is just to simulate the aqara-cube.
The main part of the flow is the switch node that will extract the property msg.payload.action and set a new payload (on of off) depending if the action is "rotate_left"" or "rotate_right".
Testing flow:

Good morning Andrei,
and thanx a lot. It works! Wow.
Switch, change and json together.
I've to learn much more.
Merry Christmas
I’m trying to get my aqara cube registered via ZHA on rasp pi in home assistant to rotate left or right to dim or brighten a light in 10% increments. Can you possibly help me create a flow for this. I am a node red newbie.
Hello queelyte,
sorry I was several day absent.....
I can't help you by binding zigbee to homeassistant. I'm running zigbee2mqtt and nodred on my raspi.
sorry for the question but somehow I have a problem with the Arara window contact:
how can i extract the messages on and get only true or false and convert them to ON and OFF:
You could use a Switch node that sends the true out on one output and the false out on the other. Then use Change nodes in those two paths to set msg.payload to string on or off. If you don't know how to do that then I assume you are a beginner to node-red so I recommend watching this playlist: Node-RED Essentials. The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.
