Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to force a deploy from inside the flow of Node-Red. For example, if my OPCUA Server isn't reading for 30 seconds, I would like for the flow to redeploy itself (As this usually reconnects the OPCUA Server - I just do it manually from the localhost:1880. I would like to automate this deployment if possible.

Thanks,  
Paul

[This thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/restart-flows-using-node-red-api/34632) will show you how to restart flows (not really a redeploy)
