Small app that gives a dynamic pause. For example when you have a actuator that you control by 2 smartsockets by starting one socket för X seconds but the pause length needs to be calculated depending on how much the flow calculates it needs to move the actuator. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/1/616227504ce1621674631f02aa104f33a918a3e7.png) ---

The setup of this app can handle 1-3600 seconds. After 60000ms there is a timeout. So it is not possible to use this for \>60 seconds. Is this a Homey limitation, and what could be done to have a dynamic pause \> 60 seconds? ---

My conclusion was that its a limitation in homey that set the limit to 1 minute. I only needed some seconds when i built the app. It would be nice if Homey got this feature native. When i need longer pauses i use the app [Chronograph](https://homey.app/en-us/app/nl.fellownet.chronograph/Chronograph/) /Rikard
