Hello,

I want to build create/store "object"/ messages with in a flow, give them an individual timestamp  
and process these messages/"object" when the time (of timestamp) reached.

Here: specially I want to create "alarm noification" with different attributs and a specific time in future, the notification should be processed.

Any hint/idea how this could be best implemented ?

Thank you very much

Regards  
Thorsten

You can do this with Cron-plus node. It is fully programmable via command messages. You add and remove time based, Cron based or solar based events.

[Here](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/79a66966a6cc655a827872a4af794b94) is a simple dashboard demo

Also checkout the example flows it ships with (ctrl+i --\> examples)
