@Fr3d3rick83 I assume that you are not familiar with node-red yet?
Well, the node needs the correct msg.payload to act correctly.

Please read the manual:
https://github.com/windkh/node-red-contrib-shelly#relays-shelly-1-2-1pm-1l-plug-plugs-uni

Here is a sample flow where you can see how a switch works
(see also https://github.com/windkh/node-red-contrib-shelly/blob/master/examples/switch.json)

[Fr3d3rick83]

Yes, I didnt know, that I always need a function.
