Wake on LAN (WOL) node Does Not Trigger Completion Node? Trying confirm an issue. Using the Wake on LAN node, if I send it a BAD MAC address, i.e ??:??:??:??:??:??... it reports via node.warn the MAC address is unacceptable. So I know the node received a message. Now I setup a completion node, connected to a debug node. But the debug never seems to be receive any message? Anyone else experience this behavior? By the way, a catch node does not seem to work either, i.e. BAD MAC address does not generate and error that is seen, but given this maybe because of the WOL node design?

The WOL node is probably too old to have had that added to it by default - happy for someone to create a pull request to add it /fix it.

Ah, that makes sense, it was easy to work around fortunately.
