Turn off plug after set time after activation


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Having trouble figuring out how to turn off plug after 1 minute after having it turn on. I assume I would use a while loop but I’m not sure where I should place the while loop and how to get the compare the condition of 1 minute of time passing. I’m not a very good programmer so this is a bit above my head.

2) What is the expected behavior?
Trying to create a piston that will turn on a switch every 10 minutes for 1 minute then shut it off.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Can’t automate the turning off.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston

Any help would be much appreciated.

Without testing, you can just add…

Wait 1 minute
turn off

Right after the turn on
