Strange thing I have noticed with @scargill 's timeout node.

When deploying, the 'unsafe' payload gets sent ok. But then after that the payload does not get sent when the node times-out.

If I set a 'safe' payload i.e. ON, then it works as expected. Bu I don't want to send a 'safe' payload. I could fix this with a switch node but should I have to?

Set up like this:
