I’ve set up a Node-Red flow that uses the “chronos scheduler” node to inject a “{“service”: “turn_on”}” payload into a series of HA “call service” nodes. The flow works well except for one light (node). There is a light that is switched on at the start of the flow that I’d like to turn off at the end of the flow. I thought using an HA “call service” node and setting the service to turn off would turn off the light. That isn’t the case and I don’t understand why?
I’ve set up a test flow to mimic the last step of the flow, The “inject” node sends a “{“service”: “turn_on”}” payload to an HA “call service” node. That node is configured to turn off the light. Problem is, the light stays on! I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong and could use assistant in resolving the issue. Here’s the test flow that I set up;

Much appreciated.
