Has wait command a limit in seconds?
Solved
Hello,
I have a rule.
if I set wait 120 sec it works, if I set wait 54000 it doesn't.
Is there a time limit?
and in this case, how could I modify the rule in order to have it working?

It probably needed to synchronize.

Hello Gianit. I have also experienced issues with wait blocks in the past and sometimes it seemed like they were running in triple speed when doing a syncronization or just after.
So since two years back I never use a wait block longer than a 1 min.
Instead I use a sheduled timer rule to repeat itself every minute. And inside that rule I calculate many different thing UP like a counter or DOWN like a timer. Sometimes I use variables but I prefer to use virtual meters so that I can easily see the current value if needed to troble shoot.
Anyway, the values that are constantly updating UP or DOWN can easily be used to control lights or turn on the alarm after a few hours etc.
This solution has worked perfect for me for some years and no loooooong wait blocks messing up the processor speed.

Hi Henning,
can you help me to set up virtual meter to be used as timer. I couldn't find guide in this forum.
Thanks
