Help coding a Delay-ON sequence?

Thanks!

I got the smartapp tweaked with the delay and got the beta in GitHub.

[OBSOLETE] Evap Cooler Thermostat

[image] This smartapp provides automatic control for Evaporative Coolers (single or two speed motors) using any temperature sensor. On a call for cooling the water pump is turned on and given two minutes to wet pads before fan low speed is enabled. The fan high speed is turned on if the temperature continues to rise above the adjustable differential. There is an optional motion override. CoRE will do this same control very well however a simple setpoint change can be tedious. Single Speed Application Even though this was designed around complete control of a two speed fan, it will work with single speed motor applications by default when leaving “Fan Hi-Lo Speed Control device” blank. The same is true if you prefer basic Fan/Pump ON together without pre-wetting of pads. Simply use the F…

But it’s also very easy to do this without custom code using a daisy chain. You have your desired trigger turn on a virtual switch which is set up to turn itself off after X minutes

I did that way and it certainly worked. I hadn’t thought of using a virtual switch as a inverted switch trigger. Thanks! However, I ended up continuing with the smartapp route because it is just awkward to make a simple room temp setpoint settings change. With my two stages of cooling fan speed it just was a little user unfriendly to the family to make a change.
