Hello,  
I'm still very inexperienced with NodeRed! I want to store a value of a node (button-state), and when something is turned on later, this stored value should be queried.  
(sorry for the bad english - google translate)  
Thanks.

You can use context storage to store values to retrieve later, the documentation explains more.
