Trigger state node gets stuck "running"

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I’m trying to setup the trigger state node so if it receives an input then it checks the lowtemp for the night and outputs based on a threshold. I dont want it always triggering, only when receiving an input so i didnt enable “output on connect”. The payload input is a simple { payload: "test" } Here is what I have inside the node itself

When the input comes in though the node shows “running” but doesnt output anything. I dont see what I’m doing wrong. It works fine with “output on connect” but dont want it to always output, only on receiving input

Why not use a current state node?

To the problem you’re currently having when checking against an entity id in conditions, it doesn’t have new and old states.

attributes.forecast.0.templow

i tried the attributes.forecast.0.templow as well but same issue
