To use the `status` node is exactly the approach I wanted to try next, after posting a feature request for the `delay` node over [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/delay-node-with-status-information/49221).

Thank you for the example as well. It does not properly work with my Node-RED version because the status messages are different. But I will definitely play with this approach and report back.
