This is my effort at a node which could be handy for people who like flashy things on their dashboard.

You want to make a _light_ blink rather than just be constantly on.

Though not complicated, this may save you some heart ache.

The `toggle` node does this for you and you can configure it with 3 settings:  
1 - how fast you want it to toggle. (Set in milliseconds)  
2 - The first message to be sent  
3 - The second message to be sent

There is an optional `offmsg` which could be handy if you are blinking a light between two colours and want it off when the flashing has stopped.

Example flow included.

Subflow node:

```auto

Ok, I fixed a small problem with the reset input.

This works a bit better with what it will accept.

Hi, I had customised something like this for my project. i had also put status message by copying from somewhere else. Have added that bit in your code.  
please give comments, is this the way to do status ?

There are so many holes in what you added sorry.

I see what you tried to do, but it not really correct in how it was done.
