Understood. We discussed this [some time ago](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/examples-that-publish-subscribe-mqtt/7320/14), and node-red-contrib-remote-gate ended up passing control messages via RED.events. Neither a happy solution nor a real contribution to the NR ecosystem. So it sits on GitHub and was never published to npm.
