msg.payload="cancel" not working as expected

[Christian-Me]

Hi, thank you for your node. Can it be that the "cancel" action is not working? or

Or I perhaps misunderstood the documentation.

Well it looks like you're using it as intended. This is really strange - what version are you running? Could you do an export of your test scenario and paste it in a reply please? I can't replicate it in my dev environment.

Here is a demo I ripped out of my flow: Perhaps this helps:

While this is an old case, with little traffic for over a year, I am experiencing the same problem, and was hoping to resurrect it.

Just to add to the case information - my use scenario: 1) [{"id":"e2213d9898b3035a","type":"eztimer","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Open 2.5 hours after morning golden hour","debug":false,"autoname":"goldenHourEnd","tag":"eztimer","topic":"","suspended":false,"sendEventsOnSuspend":false,"latLongSource":"manual","latLongHaZone":"zone.home","lat":"58.00","lon":"26.00","timerType":"2","startupMessage":false,"ontype":"1","ontimesun":"goldenHourEnd","ontimetod":"17:00","onpropertytype":"msg","onproperty":"payload","onvaluetype":"str","onvalue":"open","onoffset":"150","onrandomoffset":0,"onsuppressrepeats":false,"offtype":"1","offtimesun":"sunset","offtimetod":"dusk","offduration":"00:01:00","offpropertytype":"msg","offproperty":"payload","offvaluetype":"str","offvalue":"close","offoffset":0,"offrandomoffset":0,"offsuppressrepeats":false,"resend":false,"resendInterval":"10s","mon":true,"tue":true,"wed":true,"thu":true,"fri":true,"sat":true,"sun":true,"x":220,"y":740,"wires":[["ea5e4b90c2c6032e"]]},{"id":"aeb446268d3a09d8","type":"api-current-state","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Temperature outside is?","server":"85e14409.cc14a8","version":3,"outputs":1,"halt_if":"","halt_if_type":"num","halt_if_compare":"is","entity_id":"sensor.outside_temp_rh_bp_temperature","state_type":"str","blockInputOverrides":false,"outputProperties":[{"property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entityState"},{"property":"data","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entity"},{"property":"topic","propertyType":"msg","value":"outsidetemp","valueType":"str"}],"for":"0","forType":"num","forUnits":"minutes","override_topic":false,"state_location":"payload","override_payload":"msg","entity_location":"data","override_data":"msg","x":710,"y":800,"wires":[["e8cb6edde6117120"]]},{"id":"46534752298325d1","type":"api-current-state","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Illuminance outside is?","server":"85e14409.cc14a8","version":3,"outputs":1,"halt_if":"","halt_if_type":"num","halt_if_compare":"is","entity_id":"sensor.outside_illuminance_illuminance_lux","state_type":"str","blockInputOverrides":false,"outputProperties":[{"property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entityState"},{"property":"data","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entity"},{"property":"topic","propertyType":"msg","value":"outsideilluminance","valueType":"str"}],"for":"0","forType":"num","forUnits":"minutes","override_topic":false,"state_location":"payload","override_payload":"msg","entity_location":"data","override_data":"msg","x":700,"y":860,"wires":[["e8cb6edde6117120"]]},{"id":"e8cb6edde6117120","type":"and-gate","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Is it sunny and warm, with sun from the east?","rules":[{"t":"gte","v":"12","vt":"num","propertyType":"msg","property":"payload","topic":"outsidetemp"},{"t":"gte","v":"5000","vt":"num","propertyType":"msg","property":"payload","topic":"outsideilluminance"},{"t":"btwn","v":"50","vt":"num","v2":"135","v2t":"num","propertyType":"msg","property":"data.attributes.azimuth","topic":"sunposition"}],"outputTopic":"","gateType":"and","emitOnlyIfTrue":false,"x":1050,"y":820,"wires":[["f891cb918ee981f7"]]},{"id":"7540b52b9ef63598","type":"api-current-state","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Sun position is?","server":"85e14409.cc14a8","version":3,"outputs":1,"halt_if":"","halt_if_type":"str","halt_if_compare":"is","entity_id":"sun.sun","state_type":"str","blockInputOverrides":false,"outputProperties":[{"property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entityState"},{"property":"data","propertyType":"msg","value":"","valueType":"entity"},{"property":"topic","propertyType":"msg","value":"sunposition","valueType":"str"}],"for":"0","forType":"num","forUnits":"minutes","override_topic":false,"state_location":"payload","override_payload":"msg","entity_location":"data","override_data":"msg","x":680,"y":920,"wires":[["e8cb6edde6117120"]]},{"id":"f891cb918ee981f7","type":"change","z":"cb04bbedde809751","name":"Set flow variables -

Thank you so very much in advance!
