Delays

[martinclark1980]

Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple delays activated within one rule?
How can monitor is a delay is currently running\actiavted?

I have created a rule that switches on a light based on motion and then switches off if no motion after 5mins. If there is motion it cancels the delay and starts again.

Now this works perfectly but it then dawns on me, what if it is not and I have lots of delays counting down wasting resources. Now I am 95% sure that my rules are structured in such a way that this is not possible.

thank you.

Martin.

My understanding is it over writes, how ever I always like to put canile delayed actions in

When a delay begins, a time is set for the end of the delay(cron). There are no resources used in the interim. No "countdown".
