I’m working on a timer (and I am familiar with some of the other timers) and I need to send commands on one output and the countdown on the other. I need to use node.send so return([msgA, msgB]) is not an option. Can I simply do node.send([msgA, msgB])?

Okay, as usual, onceI asked the question I better understood what I wanted and was able to test with node.send([msgA, msgB] and it works for 2 outputs from my node.

Thanks

Take a look, maybe helps you to identify how to send different output messages
