statusPattern question - Githubissues

Describe the bug This is probably more of a documentation question than a bug, but I have an enhancement request as well. I'm having no luck with setting the statusPattern. Maybe there could be an additional example in the documentation. I'm hoping that I have everything in the right place etc. and I just don't have the query right.

Expected behavior Given the following body response for a statusUrl

I need like something like the following, If "target":"home" or"target":"sleep"then switch is ON. I imagine that should look like:

"statusPattern": "{/.*\"target\".*\"(home|sleep)\".*/}"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

My questions:

Is the regex matching only if the entire response matches?
is the regex matching matching if the string occurs anywhere in the response?

Additional context So I might be getting ahead of myself because I obviously don't follow how the regex is working here, but it would be amazing if stead of regex the plugin supported query the nodes. in this case, .node .systemMode would return exactly the right value to test rather than a RegEx.
