State Node how to check if device still power on after another 5 min?

Third party integrations Node-RED

I am using a state_node to check whether a device has been turned on/off for a given amount of time and then send a notification to my phone. Here is an image of this:

The notification will be sent after 5 minutes and as you can see only if it was turned on but … I would like to check every other 5 min if the device remains on and the main reason is that sometimes someone at home left devices on for a long time wasting money because of power heh. Can I get some ideas for this?

Here is my current flow JSON:

Yea I already discovered that one however it can only poll state for one entity at the time which leads me to something like:

Do you have a better recomendation?

Create a group for the entities you want to monitor.

An inject node into a get entities node

Right now you’re asking for all entities whose state is on. You need to add which entities to look for.
