Variable to represent device status when toggled via multiple platforms (stringify, alexa, etc.)

[neubwi]

I'd like to be able to use the variable and maker things to send device status of the Sengled bulbs/plugs to my ISY.

I have mostly Insteon devices in my house, but using ISY994i rather than the insteon hub.
I use Stringify as my go-between (with the Maker thing) for control of some non-insteon devices (Sengled bulbs and plugs)

Example: We toggle the lamp in our living room on/off via a Stringify shortcut button. I could add a variable thing to that flow so every time the lamp is toggled, the variable will change (true for on and false for off). But my wife likes using Alexa to turn the lamp on and off also. This would bypass the stringify button flow that changes the variable

So how do I get the variable of a device to change back and forth from true and false when the device is toggled on and off regardless of which system was used for the toggling?

Thanks in advance!

So this didn't work...
I setup a couple devices to send an HTTP POST to isy when a device is turned on and when it's turned off. Each instance is a separate flow

In isy I can change the state variable based on which POST is received. In other words, when the "On" flow is triggered, the state variable in isy is changed to 1 for on and when the"Off" flow is triggered the variable in isy is changed to 0 for off.

Even though I have it set to send the maker event when the light is switched on (not just if the light happens to be on),

it seems to constantly trigger the on flow if the light is on and the off flow when it's off. This basically means I'm almost hitting the event limit for a 24 hour period before I even wake up in the morning.

How do I get it to only trigger when the light switches on or off?

Or if there is a better way to send the state of a light to isy, I'm open to ideas.

Thanks!
