sounds so simple but just cant understand it!! i have a simple flow that simply gets a description or price etc from an mqtt topic and i have an input text box that i want to display that text that it receives, unless there is a better way of doing it instead of input text! but just cant get the text to change. here’s the flow and the input text but i’m guessing i need to pass the msg.payload to something
Read down below gives the parameters for the domain, entity field is ready there so you need “value”
so in the data enter json format
{"value":"{{payload}}"}
This will fill with the value that enters through input with msg.payload, other wise you can fill it manually
{"value":"test1"} to test if you want
that’s working fine, i could have swore thou i tried that combo… maybe not with the " marks around the payload or possibly i did but with msg. in it… god knows lol but its working now cheers for your help
now i just need to work out how to send the mqtt from when i enter a value in the input to my other node red server that runs the routines lol
