I need to set up sending data to the database at a specified interval (eg 10s). The data is now stored in the interval as they go from the sensor (1sec.). Is it possible to use some nodes? I tried node "delay", but that's just the delay after switching.

Maybe the delay in rate limit mode with drop intermediate messages ?
