I'm new and i need to create a node that send some msg and create a delay of 5 second so when i start the node it need to wait 5 seconds and then send a msg and so on
Is this devoloping a node or creating a flow?
ig is to create a flow.. it's mt first day on nodered
Take a look at the delay node or inject node can have a delay after deploy or restart, Please supply a example flow if you have further issues.
In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote ```)
```
code goes here

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil

See this post for more details - How to share code or flow json

the fact is that is like fro school.. and iidk how to explain with precision.. but it's thx for the moment i'll try to figure it out
Also I recommend watching this playlist: Node-RED Essentials. The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.
And if you are going to develop a dashboard to show run time data (charts, gauges, text displays and so on) then see Getting Started | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 for docs and links to video tutorials for Dashboard 2.0 (@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard)

Welcome to the forum @schnre.
Do you want to send a message every 5 seconds, forever? The inject node has an option for this:
If you need a delay of 5 seconds before the first message, take a look at the delay node:
If you need to interrupt the continuous output of messages it is a bit more complicated, but still perfectly doable.
