Delay times of more than 60 minutes for automations in new V3 app?

[nayelyz (SmartThings Developer Support)]

Hello @Vinlo,
The Rules API is another option, in the time properties such as sleep you can use bigger units like Hour or Day.
The example below describes this workflow:

1. IF the location mode changes to Away
2. THEN wait for 1 hour and check IF the location mode is still Away.
3. IF so, THEN change the location mode to Vacation.

{
   "name":"Change Location mode after x hours",
   "actions":[
      {
         "if":{
            "equals":{
               "left":{
                  "location":{
                     "attribute":"mode"
                  }
               },
               "right":{
                  "string":"away-mode-ID"
               }
            },
            "then":[
               {
                  "sleep":{
                     "duration":{
                        "value":{
                           "integer":1
                        },
                        "unit":"Hour"
                     }
                  }
               },
               {
                  "if":{
                     "equals":{
                        "left":{
                           "location":{
                              "attribute":"mode"
                           }
                        },
                        "right":{
                           "string":"away-mode-ID"
                        }
                     },
                     "then":[
                        {
                           "location":{
                              "mode":"vacation-mode-ID"
                           }
                        }
                     ]
                  }
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   ]
}

This rule needs the location mode IDs, to get those values, take a look at this post.

SmartThings API: Listing location mode

Have you tried this? https://api.smartthings.com/v1/locations/{locationId}/modes You also need the proper scopes on your token (modes)

In the API documentation, you can find more information about the Rules’ syntax. Refer to this post for the instructions to install a rule.

Hi, @mpnret You can create your Rule Automation using either Postman or Insomnia. Personally, I’d suggest you to use Insomnia, as it has a simplier and intuitive UI to perform your API calls. Please, follow the steps below: First, you must create a Personal Access Token that you’ll be using at your Requests Headers to the SmartThings API. Then, you must get the list of your devices making a GET HTTP Request at the SmartThings Devies API and track your GE SmartSwitch’s Id. Finally, update the JSON file from above with your GE SmartSwitch Id and make a POST Http Request to the Rules API. I hope this information results useful to you. Best regards, Erick.

If one of the previous posts answered your question, would you please mark it as solved? If you still have doubts or issues, let me know what’s going on and I can dig in further.
