Sorry, I thought I had resolved this the other day with the `trigger` node, but I haven't.

Here are two examples of basically the same code on two machines.

One it doesn't "work" and on the other it does.

Idea:  
BigTimer (which BTW I am trying to update, but that's another story) sends a "dusk"/"dawn" message and things happen.

Given it is dusk time here.......

At "dusk" two trigger nodes are sent a "dusk" message.  
One sends an immediate output of 49 then waits 30 minutes and sends 42  
The second node comes to life after 60 minutes and sends a 6.

Pretty simple. Or so I thought.

I built a test flow and it worked as expected with the changed position of the nodes to my original way of doing it.

So, here are two screen shots.

Description:  
You see the successful injection of the message.  
That goes to two `trigger` nodes. One is opened and you see it sends a 49 out. (Red lines)  
You see the output. (Blue lines.)  
And you can see the `trigger` nodes are ..... triggered. The blue dot under them. (Light blue lines)

Other picture:  
I press the "OFF" button to BigTimer.  
You see the "dusk" message sent. (Blue lines)  
It arrives at the `trigger` node. Nothing. (light blue box)  
But you can see it was sent out of the `switch` node.

Anyone?
