Definitely looks like you are using HA, most here don't so HA Forum is probably better for most things.

Having said that, you might be able to adapt the Simple Gate node to block whatever signal you are trying to pass/not pass on for a period.

Take a look at `node-red-contrib-simple-gate` in the Node\_RED Palette Manager. You can simply open and shut to allow or not allow messages to flow through.
