TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined about node-red-contrib-simple-gate

Please post your flow or something similar that gives the error so that I can reproduce it. Thanks.

My best guess is that you are passing a message to the gate node with msg.topic set to the Control Topic and msg.payload undefined. Please check and see whether this is the case. In any event, this error produces the message you are seeing, so I will revise the code to give a more informative message.

I have pushed a new version (0.2.1) to npm. It should give the message 'Command must be a string' instead of 'TypeError'. Please let me know whether you continue to get the "TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined" message. Without a copy of your flow, or at least the messages you are passing to the gate node, I cannot help you find the underlying source of the problem.
