I’d like the option to use decimals in delay, so 0.5 second, 1.5 etc ---

You could use the app Chronograph. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c603003a89bd0ba8a87d7c7d09ece33f3692acbe.png) ---

Appreciate that, but for the number of delays I use, it would be nice if it was simple functionality. I have a 14 bulb light feature I’d like to gradually turn on, so a 1 second delay is too much between bulbs but 0.5 would do nicely! ---

I know it is not the native option, but this could work nicely: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/dfb4aba9b9bfec70e29b2d9677b3a2e4731a3444.png) ---

Thanks for this, a good workaround! ---

Another option is to use the group app [\< group \> App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-ca/app/com.swttt.devicegroups/<-group->/). In device advanced settings you can set a delay in milliseconds between commands being sent to each device.
