Trouble with boolean OR gate

Hello,
I’m new to this forum and hope you can support me. I’m trying with node red to realize an “or” function. So I need a “true”, when either the weekdays box is active or the weekend box. But I can’t make it work. Any idea?

Thanks
Peter

Could the Join node be better suited to your purpose, maybe?

You have hit the common issue for beginners in NodeRed.
When you split an output then the different flows will be like separate flows.
When you merge an input then the flows will still be separate flows.

In your case the two input flows will not see each other at all.
Either put them in a serial setup or use a merge node.
A merge node can be really tricky to handle though.

Actually, looking at your flow it looks like you just need to remove your or gate. :wink:

Thank you. I’ll try

Thank you. I removed the or and it seems to work. But still I can’t understand why the or did not work. Why do both input nodes need to see (or know) each other?
Doesn’t or mean, that either this or that input is active to get an output?

The flow only goes one way, so the two start nodes do not see each other.
