aww ok learn something new every day… so far its all working now makes it easier now to have a binary sensor when u wanna use a sensor on a different page flow…

so msg ={} is the same like msg = “” makes a blank message
so it deletes everything

always learning…
is this coding specific to node red or is it like python code or something… im formaly a basic programer language so i used to code from the 90s and 2000s in the orginal and the visuals but always learning and learn a bit a python here and there

It’s a little different. "" creates an empty string, {} creates an empty object. All messages in NR need to be inside an object. Look at the debug and you will see it’s always an object.

If you swap out the {} with "" in that function node I supplied, it will fail to output. Function nodes use javascript (mdn or w3)and jsonata is available in most other nodes for message manipulation.
