Delay Node

The Delay Node allows a workflow to pause for a specified duration before continuing.

Node Properties

Seconds

The number of seconds to delay the workflow execution at this node. The value must be between 0 (no pause) and 59 (inclusive). Template expressions are supported; if a template evaluates to a non-numeric value, it will be treated as 0. If the rendered delay is 60 seconds or greater, the workflow will halt with an error.

In the above example, the workflow will delay for 30 seconds between the "Device Turn On" Device Command Node and the "Device Turn Off" node.

Node Errors

If the rendered delay value is 60 seconds or greater, the workflow will halt and error at this node with the message "Requested delay is longer than max workflow runtime."
