Keeping track of which flows trigger when can be a problem if you have lots of them (I do have quite a few). I decided to simplify things and have most of my triggers listed like this and use `link-in` and `link-out` nodes to connect to where I need them.

Each of those push out an MQTT message every minute. Which obviously can be reused anywhere. A copy is also kept in memory for convenience.
