Hi @kriznik
I have set all that up. i believe ive done it all correctly, but i cant seam to get openhab to change the state of the switch
Here are my config files, ive modified them to suit my needs because my light switches are based based on a stateless design, it just sends the same string on each press i needed a way to store and check the state in Mqtt.
i made this Subflow
[{"id":"9c00f54f.6d8b28","type":"subflow","name":"Panel 20 button 41","info":"","category":"","in":[{"x":300,"y":320,"wires":[{"id":"177fd9f2.6de656"}]}],"out":[{"x":1060,"y":320,"wires":[{"id":"ea211b8a.407558","port":0},{"id":"59c06ba.0d6b894","port":0}]}],"env":[]},{"id":"b334b24f.d3394","type":"switch","z":"9c00f54f.6d8b28","name":"","property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","rules":[{"t":"eq","v":"1","vt":"str"},{"t":"eq","v":"0","vt":"str"}],"checkall":"true","repair":false,"outputs":2,"x":650,"y":320,"wires":[["ea211b8a.407558"],["59c06ba.0d6b894"]]},{"id":"ea211b8a.407558","type":"change","z":"9c00f54f.6d8b28","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"1","tot":"str"},{"t":"set","p":"next","pt":"flow","to":"0","tot":"str"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":860,"y":280,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"59c06ba.0d6b894","type":"change","z":"9c00f54f.6d8b28","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"0","tot":"str"},{"t":"set","p":"next","pt":"flow","to":"1","tot":"str"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":860,"y":340,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"177fd9f2.6de656","type":"function","z":"9c00f54f.6d8b28","name":"get next value","func":"if (msg.payload == \"20-41\") {\nmsg.payload = flow.get(\"next\")||0;\nreturn msg;\n} \nelse {\nmsg.payload=\"\"\n}\n","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":460,"y":320,"wires":[["b334b24f.d3394"]]}]
and this is my current flow.

doing it this way i can have openhab effectively act in a somewhat stateless manner and have my subflow manage the state. this is all working correclty i just cant seam to get openhab to update the state.
just the rest of my configs.

}
toggling the switch in either openhab or pressing one of my light switch buttons it sends the correct command ON or OFF so im hoping its just a mistake ive made somewhere,
Cheers
