Hi,

I'd like to know the status of the node-red-contrib-traffic node.

in my case I use it for open or close traffic between a sun sensor and a wind sensor.  
So if the wind sensor sends an "open blinds" signal then the sun sensor is blocked about 30min. To show me the real status of the traffic node i need to know the status of it.

Actually i send a signal every 5 sec. into the traffic node and control the outgoing message, but in this case i only can check the open signal not the close signal.

Any ideas however i can solve it? Maybe another node with a status signal ...

Thx in advance

Felix

May I suggest you try this node instead:

[node-red-contrib-simple-gate](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-simple-gate/3658)

I started off using it but the one I posted is better - I believe.
