Has the stay functionality been fixed yet? I might have missed it. Congrats on reaching beta!
What do you mean, Stays has been working for a while now. Any bug?
@CAL7 and @daven I do not know the cost of checking the current value of a device. I donāt know if that is a cached value provided to the script at run time or if it is checked against a db in real time so I canāt really sayā¦
No, I canāt. We need to have a meeting for that. (I am starting to love this whole bureaucratic meeting thing as it gets me out of tight spaces)

Just tested and works fine for meā¦ Can you retest? Any errors? Timeout?
Retested, just get
For 20 seconds then nothing, no error messages.
Also should their be an icon for variables?
Nothing in the logs? Fixed the image, thank you
Just this and all debugging options selected

v0.1.091.20160614 - Beta M1 - Fixed the $index variable during loops, attempted a more complex workaround fix for global variable race conditions, removed an extra āuā from the IFTTT page (ha ha)

Can you update to the latest, open the piston and save it, the lock a door and unlock it? The doors need to be unlocked once before the stays can kick in
I will have to test when I get home. Also, if I wanted to do this for 3 separate locks, do I need 3 separate pistons? Or can I combine this? (I donāt want lock 2 locking after 1 minute because lock 1 has been unlocked for 5 minutes already).
So you want each individual lock to lock after 5 minutes? I would say three conditions with individual actions. Until I find a way to allow a variable device in the action 
Ok, so 3 pistons. Gotcha.
No. 3 conditions in the same piston.

Maybe Iāve missed it, but is there a way to create a condition āif X is Y for Z minutesā? Iāve got a few situations where Iād like to turn off a device if there is no motion for X minutes or if someone is away from the house for X minutes, but only if there is consistently no motion. Any motion during the timer would restart the timer.
Yes. If motion sensor stays inactive for 5 minutes, then do this.
Ok folks, time to step it up on the documentation. Itās been going slow, in case you havenāt noticed the only feature missing from this app is self documentation.
So, I need help.
Everyone has their own unique expertise area of the appā¦ Those of you using variables, or using a lot of one or two pistonsā¦ Things like thatā¦ Lies if moron sensorsā¦ Whateverā¦
Please pm screen shots of your piston, screen shots of your notes, explanations of how a feature worksā¦ Anything you haveā¦ Especially screen shots of pistons.
This is a community app and the documentation will be much better with all of your inputs.

I have a word doc of all the bits of random documentation that flew past me in the zillion posts plus embedded examples. Donāt know if you want that?
