Has “delay” stopped working as a modifier for device actions? def initialize() { subscribe(switch1, "switch.on", onHandler) } def onHandler(evt) { switch1.off([delay:2000]) } When I turn the switch on, it just stays on. If I change the delay to something 999ms or less, it does turn off the swi…

This has now been fixed and delays < 60 seconds should now be working as expected again.

It looks like it was changed to seconds. My quick test using seconds instead of milliseconds worked.

Ah I see… I totally misread that. Hmm… I wonder where that change was announced :smirk:

It is things like this that make the difference between ‘possible to develop for’ and ‘developer friendly’, I think.

I can confirm this. It appears that [delay: msecs] now delays that number of seconds, not that number of milliseconds. Hey only off by a factor of 1000. Submit a ticket. @slagle , @Tyler , @jody.albritton , @Jim : device.off([delay: 25]) now delays for 25 seconds instead of 25 milliseconds. Conf…

I am trying to find the root of this issue.

Ticket # 204239 … There is no scheduled job shown in the IDE for this type of delay.

We have discovered the cause of this issue and working on a fix to revert back to milliseconds. I will update as I know more.

Appreciate the quick response!!

[image] geko: Just curious what was the root cause and how come there isn’t any kind of regression testing in place to prevent this type of screw-ups? There were unit tests in place and they all passed. In the old scheduler we were converting seconds to milliseconds at some point. This did no…
