[2023] Detonator - Signals Not Working Properly (?)

I'm so confused I've been stuck at this supposedly simple thing for an hour.

Main problem: Detonator activation

Purpose: Detonate incendiary grenade to kill ballast flora

• Main trigger point is the Equals Component (I won't get into the components prior to that)
  • Checks:
    • Water Detector: Water Level = 0
    • Signal Component: "Ballast Flora A/B/C" Output: 0
  • True Output = 1
  • False Output = ____ or nothing
  • Timeframe: 0.00

Problem Details:

It never seems to explode when the Equals Component is feeding it a "1" value; but as soon as I cancel the command (i.e. now supposedly receiving blank/nothing from the false output) it suddenly explodes.

If it has no signal and I load it, it doesn't pop. But as soon as I send the "1" signal again, then turn it "off" it explodes (?). Is that how buttons send signals? A quick "1" to "blank"

tldr; It explodes only when it has NO signal AFTER receiving a signal? Am i missing something here? Or is it intended that way?
