Hi,  
is it possible to set the status (little icon, color and label) of any node?

I found out, that I can set the status of a function node like this: node.status({ fill: "red", shape: "dot", text: "Demo" });  
But I would like to set the status of another node.  
It is a **rpi-gpio out** node. By default it only shows the status "true" or "false" and it is always color green.

No,

The LED, status of a node, is decided on by the developer of said node.  
You can emulate it, by wrapping it up in a Subflow very easily, where you can control the appearance & status
