resourses->operation to turn off a light - dosn't update status of light on mycontroller

[RMF69]

I've got a simple operation to send a payload to a light node. This all works fine, but the status of the node on mycontroller isn't updated so the buttons and light become out of sync.

Is there a way in mycontroller to handle this, or is the only way to send a status update from the light node back to mycontroller ?

Thanks

@rmf69 Status should be updated in MyController. Have you refreshed the page? And tried?

Thats what I thought... on my led node i present present( 0, S_DIMMER ); however mycontroller shows 2 sensors id 0 and 1. I was manipulating and viewing a switch connected to id 0, but adding also a switch connected to id 1, and of course changing the update frequency to 1s then the switch connected with id=1 does get updated.

I'm having trouble understanding why 2 sensors have been created when I only presented 1 ?

just to recap

2 nodes

1. light switch
2. led light

I've created 2 operations, lighton, light off which send a payload to led light node.

Now when I press the 1) light switch button node, the led light on node 2) turns on/off. All ok...

Except the status of the light on the dash board dosn't change

@rmf69 Can you post your sketch?
Are you using any script in MyController for this switch? If Yes, can you post that script too?

@jkandasa I feel a bit stupid now, because I got it working, but can't describe 100% why. Which is bad because it dosn't garantee that I don't make the same mistake again. I think I was connecting the button to the wrong sensor value that needed changing to turn the led on and off.
