This topic describes what the delay timer feature is and how it works.

Background

This feature allows users to delay a device turning on or off for a specified time period.

Overview

Users specify a time delay. After the timer is done, the device will be automatically turned on or off based on its current on/off state. For example:

If the device is on now, it will be turned off after the timer is done.
If the device is off now, it will be turned on after the timer is done.

The time delay is one-time. Once the duration is set, the delay timer will run immediately. The remaining time will be synced to the app every 30 seconds. If a device has multiple switch channels such as 5-outlet power strips, users can set a time delay for each channel.

Principle

The delay timer is implemented with a specific component. A time delay can be set for each switch channel and the remaining time is synced to the app every 30 seconds.
