Bluetooth ouput node not clearing buffer at input
#2
Makes sense, indeed.

The current solution is to handle erasing in the analysis block. Sending BLE data is always (and only) done when the analysis cycle has finished, so you can control the data before each send. Usually, you would react to the button push by preparing the data to be sent. So, for example, your button would write the value 1 to a buffer "buttonTriggered" and in the analysis block you would copy some data to "dataToBeSent" if "buttonTriggered" equals 1 and just clear "dataToBeSent" otherwise (clear="true" at the output a type="empty" input for the else case). You can then simply unconditionally append a zero afterwards to clear the "buttonTriggered" buffer.

In your case this seems a bit awkward as you want to send the same value as set by the button. So you would do something like this, which appears unnecessarily overcomplicated as you do not need to fetch special data:

Code:
<if equal="true">
  <input clear="true">buttonTriggered</input>
  <input type="value">1</input>
  <input type="value">1</input>
  <input type="empty" />
  <output clear="true">dataToBeSend</output>
</if>

<append>
  <input type="value">0</input>
  <output>buttonTriggered</output>
</append>
