Current State Node - Confusion

Hello Folks,

I am jumping off into the Node-RED side of things in Home Assistant and I have run into a few challanges. What I am wanting to do is have a reoccuring event that takes place at a specific time each day. I have worked out the flow and have gotten it to work but I want to add the ability to enable/disable it from HA using a switch. I created the input boolean in HA and mapped it to the Current State node. No matter what I do the inject node always passes through the "if false" output port.

I created this test flow so I could see how the message flows.

Any advice or direction for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Is it checking for the correct state name , ie true/false vs on/off.
I've had issues in the past with using the wrong status names in automations.

That may be the case but I am not sure where to find that information.

Try double clicking the node. Sorry, I haven't used Node Red in a while.

Welcome!

What is the configuration of your current state node? Scott is correct that the most common issue is the precise wording of the state values. For an input boolean the values are normally "on" or "off", so the properties should contain something like this:

Thanks your image provided the key piece I needed to solve the problem. It was the simple situation of True vs On and seeing your snapshot gave me the clues to resolve.

Many Thanks
