After running my shelly plug s monitoring for a while, I found that due to the join node the UI was not reactive enough. Therefore, I rewrote the node. Responsiveness is now ok, especially for on and off status. The way how I handle multiple outputs of the node is also much easier now and better to read. As the inputs and the UI have not changed, it is possible to just replace the code in your node. But then don’t forget to copy Tab “On Start” as well and remove the join node.
