Time entity node (beta)

Hey! I noticed that if you restart node-red then it doesnt send a new msg when in "listen for change mode". Would be wonderful with a send on connect option for it similar to how some of the other nodes like poll state have for example.

Thanks for a great addition.

A current workaround would be to use an inject node with "Inject once after 0.1 seconds, then" into a time entity node with its mode set to "get value"

Could you possibly elaborate please as to how you would set up the inject node? - am fairly new to this all. Thanks

I get the following error when trying to set a value for time: "TypeError: text.split is not a function or its return value is not iterable".
