Hi Forum,
I was exploring the status node and found that there was no option to configure intervals of the status being sent. Is there any way possible to do that?

Hi @Josh
The status node reacts to changes to the nodes you focus it on (providing these nodes set a status)
I can't see any benefit, for it to report the same status at an interval.
What would your reason for this be?
The status node will trigger, when a status change happens.
If you wanted to do it however, you can use the `trigger` node after it, and set it to resend the message at your desired interval

Thanks @marcus-j-davies for the reply. I am looking in on a situation where I need to get the status whenever I need them. From your reply I am got into thinking that I can update the state in a context every time and poll the status whenever I need them.
Much appreciated reply !! Thanks

When the status is reported use a change node to save it to context storage (or other storage). Then you can poll the storage for the current status.

There was a long thread about this last week. [Make the status node have an input](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/make-the-status-node-have-an-input/73633)
