Hubitat device node

[JK40105]

I connected a Philips Hue bulb via Hubitat and the Device node in node-red-contrib-hubitat.
If the bulb is switched off and I send the ON command, the Node-Red node gives in msg.response.attributes[1].currentValue OFF, also in attributes[2].currentValue, and vice versa in case of command OFF it responds ON. The real currentValue is only shown by repeating the command or sending the refresh command.
It would possibly be more helpful if one of the msg.resonse.attributes showed the previous state and the other the new state after execution of the current command.

The output of command node is the raw response of Maker API. You can try directly with your browser:

http://<ip-add>/apps/api/<app-id>/devices/<device-id>/on?access_token=<token>

The response seems to return the device state BEFORE executing the command. I have no control on that

I suggest you to split your flow in two

In your device node, select "Send events".
Now when you will trigger a command, the device node will send you the new value after to be changed in the hub.
You can add switch node to filter events received or <I-dont-remember-the-node> to wait for the command response + the device event
