Friends. I want to run the light control macro. “on” and “off” buttons work. I can’t run “light toggle”. This may not be an obstacle in terms of usage. But I want to add a physical button to my printer and turn the lights on and off with a single button. I couldn’t find where I made a mistake. I need your help.

I am really sad. I couldn’t understand it because it’s not my native language. Thank you.

The only thing I can think of to try would be something like this:

```auto
[gcode_macro lights_off]
gcode:
    SET_PIN PIN=caselight VALUE=0|int
 
[gcode_macro lights_on]
gcode:
    SET_PIN PIN=caselight VALUE=20|int
 
[gcode_macro lights_toggle]
gcode:
    {% if (printer["output_pin caselight"].value)|int == 20 %}
        lights_off
    {% else %}
        lights_on
    {% endif %}

```
