Timeout for individual switches?


#1

I just can’t wrap my mind around this one…

I’d like to set a group of lights on a timer. If the light stays on for more than 15 minutes, it turns off. I could create individual pistons for each light, but it seems like there is probably a way to do it with a single piston.

In case it’s not obvious, the device timers would need to run asynchronously so that each turned off after their own 15 minute period.

Is this actually possible?

Hidden in the with settings you can find an option to allow multiple schedules runs. Changed both if and with to asynchronous. Give this a whirl

That looks AWESOME. Thanks!

Ran through that really quickly and now that I’m thinking about it. The main piston settings (click on the green text name) has an option for parallelism. Enable that too

That explains why one didn’t turn off in my test. Good catch sir.
