Hi, Thank you for creating this node. it's awesome.

Is there any chance of getting this node an option to prevent infinite loop. For example, create an check box for us to chose whether allow msg arrives on input, to pass through to output or not. because sometimes i want to let input node to feedback the status back to inside Alexa app if the external switch toggled the light on/off. but i don't want the msg pass through to the output.

Thanks you.

untick this

if untick this check box that the input status is not updated to Alexa App.

torinnguyen commented 6 years ago

this function is not available. you can add a custom function node at the output and check the 'topic' parameter to stop the message.

I have no problem using SONOFF + UI Switch with Alexa Node. Both Alexa app & UI Switch are updated when I interact with UI Switch or issue voice commands.

This is my solution for this issue as torinnguyen advised me last time, it's working very well.
