Loop with start, stop and toggle actions
This is an example of a loop which can be controlled by the msg.payload. Following actions are allowed: "start", "stop" and "toggle". The msg.payload on the output provides current loop state: "started", "stopped", and "loop: n".
The upper output is intended as a trigger for the rest of flow, the bottom output is intended to be looped back to the input through the delay function.
Enjoy.
