Delay Start as an option

[tavi]

There are places with fluctuating power, sometimes with frequent glitches. This is not healthy for compressor appliances, like refrigerators. 

A very handy feature would be a delayed start function, ofc defaulting to 0s as factory setting. 

When auto start is set to on, to have a numeric field where the user can add the desired delay.

Could be a good feature I will move this to feature request section

It can be done with this script

 

// Script: Delayed Relay Activation

// Delay in milliseconds (20000ms = 20 seconds)
let delay_time = 2000;

// Function to activate the relay after the delay
function activate_relay() {
    Shelly.call("Switch.Set", { id: 0, on: true });
}

// Set a timer that calls the activate_relay function after delay_time
Timer.set(delay_time, false, function(){
    activate_relay();
});

// Initialize the script at startup
Shelly.call("Switch.Set", { id: 0, on: false }); // Ensures that the relay is off at startup
