[Help needed]: Status Node

How can we help?

I am trying to use Status Node to check the window sensor open/close before I let my blinds run. It worked until now. Now anytime I run the flow, I get the node.status message in red saying, Check your config. Unfortunately I don't know where to check anything as it does not seem to have any config. Thank you, Martin

Any more details?

If this is specific to some hardware or specific software version, please explain here.

Any code or functions to add?

Did you change the node this is pointed at?

I would try to fix it like this:
1- delete this status node
2- delete the window sensor service
3- deploy and restart nodered
4- add the window sensor service back
5- deploy and restart nodered
6- add the status node back

Should clear and reset any of the backend stuff which is apparently confused. Let me know how it goes, good luck!

I have this issue too, if the service and status node are on different flows. Is there any chance to fix that? As it is really bad if one wants to use the status node in a different flow. Otherwise everything needs to be on one flow.

@tampiss, @Tyraenor did you try the solution above, as it sounds like a NR cache issue where you need to clear it out.

I have the same issue right now. The service is defined in Flow A.
Checking the status within flow A is working fine.
Checking the status in another flow B is not working.
