Hi, another day, another opportunity to solve a problem... Do I need to give more details?
I have a remote control with 4 on and off buttons. When I press 4 off, the remote sends "4_off".
In Node-Red I've send this to a switch node and on the second output I have "4_off". On this output I have some action nodes and they work when I push the 4 off button. They all are action nodes with "switch.turn_off" or "light.turn_off". I also want to close covers and a node with action "cover.cover_close" won't work.
I played around and when I inject just "off", the action node closes the cover, why "off_4" isn't accespted and how to solve this?
Thanks for your input and help!

Anyone who can help me with this, even tips how to start debugging

Node red help is in automations, and then use that tag too. I the meantime, what brand shade? Can you close or open it when simply using a manual trigger node? Trying to separate the issue between the control and the off_4 messaging

Apologies, what do you mean by 'Node red help is in automations, and then use that tag too'. I use a ESP board with 2 relays to open/close the covers and this works without any problem. The action node just works when I activate it by an inject node but not from the switch node....
