      Hello,

      Is there a way to add a delay before (or after or between) actions?

      Use case:

      • I have an old Sonos Play 5 in bedroom that runs hot when idle.
      • So I have it behind a Meross Smart Plug.
      • I can turn the Meross Plug on via a Flic Button, but it takes some time for the speaker to be on-line.
      • So now I need to use two separate actions to play music in bedroom. Click to turn Plug on. Stand next to the button and wait until speaker is on-line. Finally double-click to start playback.
      • So I would want to do the above with one action sequence:
        • Click the button (containing the following sequence):
          • Turn on Meross Plug via IFTTT
          • Wait for 45 sec
          • Start playback on speaker via Sonos

      PS.
      Thanks for the Mac app! This is a great extension and has huge potential but has limited range among customers! And I am not sure about others, but I do not have my iMac or Mac Mini running 24/7.

      PPS.
      In the future Windows and specially Linux (e.g. Raspberry Pi) integration would be even better...
      I do have Windows and Linux computers running 24/7.
      My Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Weather Station could easily handle Flic control on the side. It already has all needed connectivity and ample amount of power.

          Hi Toni
          Iโ€™m not sure how to do what you trying to do.
          However Iโ€™d like to know how you managed to get Flic to turn on your Meross Smart Switch?
          I just purchased my Flic2 buttons and have easily setup Lifx & Sonos, but canโ€™t find the Meross integration.
          Any help would be appreciated.
          Cheers,
          Ollie
