What is your idea?

When a NK service node is triggered, it should be possible to pass additional metadata through the service node and receive that metadata on the output.

For example, if I pass the following data to a switch, I would expect the following output:

Service node input

msg: {
  payload: {
    On: true
  },
  meta: {
    someMetaValue: 123,
  }
}

Service node output

msg: {
  payload: {
    On: true
  },
  hap: { ... },
  name: 'device name',
  meta: {
    someMetaValue: 123,
  }
}

I already have message passthrough enabled, but it seems that a service node builds a completely new message and disregards almost all values passed to it's input.

Any more details?

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

Additional comments?

Additional comments here, if any.

Any code or functions to add?

+1 for this request. Thanks for a great addition to NR. Its pretty much a NR convention that msg objects are passed-through with the node only making the specified changes based on its function.
