Trigger State Node - errors with enable/disable

[aegjoyce]

Problem/Motivation

Using msg.payload to enable/disable trigger state nodes results in the following error registering in the HA logs:

Logger: homeassistant.components.websocket_api.http.connection.2815852632
Source: components/websocket_api/connection.py:84 
Integration: Home Assistant WebSocket API (documentation, issues) 
First occurred: 12:30:26 (4 occurrences) 
Last logged: 12:33:02

Received invalid command: nodered/entity

Function of the trigger state node and subsequent flows works as expected; this is purely an error-logging issue (I think)

Expected behavior

For no error to be logged.

Actual behavior

The above error is recorded on each enable/disable instance.

Steps to reproduce

Here is an example flow that causes the error:

Code for this flow:

An input_boolean toggles this automation on/off and is checked at startup. If on it sends 'enable' in msg.payload to the trigger-state nodes, or 'disable' if off. Each time this happens, the above error is recorded. Deleting everything after the trigger-state node does not fix the issue; deleting everything after AND the trigger-state node fixes the issue.
