After restarting, the node does not automatically read the current status.

First of all, thanks for your great work on this node-red module!

I'm running Node-RED v19.0.2 on HAOS (Home Assistant OS), using MQTT and KNX (v3.3.23) nodes to enable communication between KNX and Home Assistant. However, when I restart HAOS, it fails to automatically reload the current state of the node's status address. For example, lights show 'false' by default after a reboot. However, when I manually operate the light switch, the status address node will display the correct current state.

This shows the proper status after operation

Here's the state after reboot

these are my node settings

Hi
Does the actuator for 1/1/2, respond to read queries? If not, simply set the “Read status on start” property, to “read from file” or similar (don’t recall yet the exact name)

Thank you for your response. I may not have fully described the problem. After system reboot, the status node fails to automatically transmit state information downstream to MQTT. To solve this, I added an auto-monitoring MQTT node before the status node (as shown here). This would send an activation signal to the status node after reboot, triggering it to output to MQTT.

However, recently after rebooting, the activation signal sent to the status node is being interpreted as a 'false' signal. This causes the status node to directly output a false state after reboot. I've tested removing this auto-monitoring node, but then the status node simply doesn't output any state signals after system restart.

this is state after reboot

This is the output message from the auto-trigger node

Hi,
i suggest you to learn the Wiki page, but in short, you must pass "msg.readstatus = true" to the node.

Thank you for your assistance. I realize I didn't fully understand this plugin's functionality initially. After your recommendation, I've carefully reviewed the relevant entries in the official documentation/wiki.
I tried using 'Sample: Read value from Device', but this sample still fails to output the current node state. It only displays 'read' in the lower-right corner of the node.
