It would be usefull that the IN node also sends the msg on statusupdate.
At the moment the IN node sends the message only when the NODE changes from ON to OFF or OFF to ON.

some one already has this done. But there a few other features missing.

• openhab2-in2
  Listens to state changes of a selected openHAB Item and allows you to configure on what specific event a message should be send, and under which conditions.

Configuration:

Name : Optionally specify a name
Controller : Select the openHAB controller
Item : Select the Item to monitor
Send initial state at node startup (will set msg.event to "InitialStateEvent")
Only when Changed : Only send a message when the state changes (eventtype == "ItemStateChangedEvent") when set to true, otherwise only sends state updates (eventtype == "ItemStateEvent")
(Optional, when 'Only when Changed' is checked) Changed from: the old (previous) state. Ignored when left empty.
(Optional, when 'Only when Changed' is checked) Changed to: the new state where it changed to. Ignored when left empty.
Messages injected in NodeRED flows (1 channel):

Channel 1:

msg.item : the item's itemname (not label)
msg.topic : "StateEvent"
msg.event : "InitialStateEvent" | "ItemStateEvent" | "ItemStateChangedEvent"
msg.payload : the new state of the selected item
msg.oldValue : the previous value (state) of the item (when 'Only when Changed' is checked), otherwise null
