      Hi,
      I wonder if there is a way to request a value from the node. For example I have a dimmer node with temperature sensor. In the web interface I can see the temp in sensor details and I even can set a temperature (but of course this is not handled in the node :)). It would be cool if there was some kind of "refresh" button which would send req command to the node.

        We can run request from Action board >> Send raw message or we can create an Operation to request payload. But it is not supported from the dashboard.

          @jkandasa thanks. So to use operation i need to create some kind of rule ?

          As a side note, maybe this is a good idea for a new feature ? Because for me sending a value to node and requesting its current value is complementary. I also think about some kind of node settings variables. For example a motion sensors could expose a trigger duration variable that could be changed from the interface. The value of such variable would be sent from the node to the controller only on demand (for the user to show him what is the current setting) and could be set from the controller. The only missing part in MyController for this scenario is refreshing the variable.

            @rozpruwacz You can configure Operation on Timer too.
            Yes, this feature looks valid. Can you create a feature request on GitHub page?
