I am beginner in Node-Red and am trying to understand in this example - "Timer". [https://notenoughtech.com/home-automation/a-timer-in-nodered/](https://notenoughtech.com/home-automation/a-timer-in-nodered/)

I have set the time! This can be seen on the screenshot.  
Under the node named "Timer" we can see in what time it shuld be start and what time it will stop.  
But there are no messages in the "debug messages" or "information" window that the time has come and now I will turn it "ON" or now the time of shutdown ...  
Just nothing.

Could you please make me any working example of visual confirmation that the timer is working. ☹
