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…

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.

Thanks @E1cid for the suggestion.
