Custom routine multiple activations of same device

kmand — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 17:38:06 GMT

I have a kitchen overhead light which can turn on in 3 different luminescents. It has no interface other than turning it on and off, and it cycles through the 3 possibilities. The wall switch is a Kasa fall switch which is a Google Home on/off device. I would like a custom routine that tells the Kasa to ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON, OFF with a short delay between each. The very GUI oriented Google Home doesn't seem to have a way for me to do this. Am I missing something?

Hey kmand,

Thanks for reaching out.

Have you tried adding action then adding a time adjustment so that you can set a delay time? You can choose the time when the routine triggers.

Best,

Alex

Yes, I'm doing that now. Unfortunately the minimum delay seems to be 1 second, which drags this out. It would be great if there was a subsecond delay.
