Is there a way to check if an hourglass node is running?

I want to check to see if the hourglass node is running before sending start. Is this possible?

The hourglass node does have a persistent ID.

Try using a status node to set a flow variable that indicates whether it’s running or not.

I think I thought of kinda the same thing right when you were replying. I used the change node that sends the start command and reset command to also set a global variable.

Then I have the global variable checked before it makes it to start or the stop,status,reset nodes.
