    configNode.addStatusListener(this.id, "rtdb");

    // The RTDB reference instance
    const rtdb = configNode.rtdb.database;

    // Gets data from msg.path and yields a `payload`
    this.on("input", async (msg, send, done) => {
      try {
        const snapshot = await configNode.rtdb.get(msg.path);
        send({ payload: snapshot });
        done();
      } catch (error) {
        done(error);
      }
