Hi Fredio, I'm just starting to look at VDs myself. I started with this article

To achieve something like what you want, I have to define a two button device with a label. You can set this up as shown in the tutorial, then for each button set the radio button to LUA code and enter something like the following:

On the second button change the text to OFF . You can use the main radio button (at the top of the button display) to drive that button first. Do not code anything for the main section.

I would have prefered to set the background colour on the button itself but have not found out how to do this yet.

In the absence of better help, I hope this gets you started.
