What's the current behaviour?
Have you checked Dash Manager monitor channels to ensure the boost change channel is being updated when you turn the switch?

Hi,

Can you post your Dash and DC configs?

Hello,

To achieve this you need a condition which is true after the channel value has changed.

The Global Conditions in DC don't have a 'changed by' operator but you can achieve this by using a delay filter. 1000ms seems suitable for the delay time.

You can reference the source channel and the delay channel in a Global Condition, the global condition will be true when the source channel and delayed channel are NOT the same, I set a result delay here so the overlay will remain active for 2 seconds after the origin channel and delay channel are equal.

Once you have this condition you can configure it as the switch channel for an overlay.

I have attached an example DC project with this all configured for you to take a look at.
