Ezlo Plus: using timer in scene scripts

[cw-kid]

On my Vera Plus there was a plugin called “Count Down Timer”. I used this plugin with my house alarm setup using Z-Wave door sensors etc.

When the house is “armed” using the House Modes Away mode. Then when the front door is opened the count down timer is started and lasts for 60 seconds.

This means I have 60 seconds to disarm the house, this puts Vera in to Home Mode and disarms all the security sensors etc.

If the 60 seconds count down timer expires and I have not disarmed the house, then a scene runs a burglar alarm function and would sound the siren send me notifications and do other stuff as well.

I don’t know how to replicate this functionality on the Ezlo platform.

This was the old thread for the Vera plugin. Maybe we need a similar plugin for the Ezlo platform?
