You want to look at the split node, it will take an array an turn it into a stream of messages.

It is a core Node-RED node so should already be in palette

Can be paired with the join node to reassemble the array afterwards if needed

Welcome to the board.
You can inject to a function node, break it to separate messages, add the required msg.delay property to each (in ms) and send them all through a delay node.

You need to use a combination of SET and UPDATE:

  • SET to define the initial value of your array;
  • UPDATE to modify your array (add one element in your case)

Note: SET is not mandatory.
Note 2: I used a different node palette.

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.

It might not answer your immediate question but it will help you understand the other suggestions here.
