Delay on/off
Once the switching event is recognized and a Delay period is set to be greater than 0,
the output will wait for this period before it assumes the required state as a reaction to the event.
Delay periods applied when switching the process and the underlying output ON and OFF are independent,
thus they are listed twice: as Delay on and Delay off, respectively.
The Delay periods, as all other time period variables, are provided in two parts: Quantity and Unit:
Quantity
The first parameter listed is the Quantity which defines how many time units will have to elapse before the process output reacts to the input event.
Its [VALUE] can be anywhere between 0 and 255.
Unit
The second parameter listed is the Unit which defines the time measurement unit of the provided Quantity.
Available [VALUE] options are summarized in the following table:
| [VALUE] | Unit |
|---|---|
0 | One tenth (0.1) of a second |
1 | One second |
2 | Ten seconds |
3 | One minute |
4 | Ten minutes |
5 | One hour |
Thus, effectively, the provided time period can range between 0.1 second and 255 hours.

(GET) http://[IPv4]/var_request?param=ondel_[PROCESS ID]
- Delay off Quantity:
(POST) http://[IPv4]/var_set?param=offdel_[PROCESS ID]&val=[VALUE]
(GET) http://[IPv4]/var_request?param=offdel_[PROCESS ID]
- Delay on Unit:

(GET) http://[IPv4]/var_request?param=offdelu_[PROCESS ID]
POST: http://192.168.1.255/var_set?param=ondel_3&val=15
POST: http://192.168.1.255/var_set?param=ondelu_3&val=1
will set the Delay on for Process #3 to 15 seconds.

Example
The following example process is a typical bathroom vent. The vent is turned ON immediately with the Rising edge on a switch,
but runs for additional 5 minutes following the Falling edge before it is turned OFF:
