Hi, one method is to modify the code of the node.  
For example, I have a serial node which show the connect status.

View the code of this node, you may find out the corresponding js code below:

Next step, you may add your own code , to output the key status you're interesting in to a debug node or so.

Add a status node with a debug node. It will propagate the status, color and the text

@magicfire same for you.
