Delay in script not working?

Configuration
1

I want to write a script to send three commands to my Broadlink remote with a 750ms delay between each. Individually, each command works just fine, but when I put them into a script, only the first command is sent.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

alias: fios_stb_office_msnbc
sequence:
  - service: remote.send_command
    data:
      device: Office STB
      command: 6
    target:
      entity_id: remote.broadlink_office_remote
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 750
  - service: remote.send_command
    data:
      device: Office_STB
      command: 0
    target:
      device_id: c93b2be6ffa811eab444bf3b4d7f7b79
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 750
  - service: remote.send_command
    data:
      device: Office STB
      command: 3
    target:
      device_id: c93b2be6ffa811eab444bf3b4d7f7b79

I believe I have the same issue. I had a script that blinks a bulb red as a warning where I turn on and of the light bulb with a delay of 300ms.

It was working before but after HA update I think this functionality broke somehow. Not sure with which update tho.

alias: Bench Danger
sequence:
  - repeat:
      count: 5
      sequence:
        - service: light.turn_off
          metadata: {}
          data: {}
          target:
            entity_id: light.bench_light_lt
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 0
            milliseconds: 300
        - service: light.turn_on
          metadata: {}
          data:
            rgb_color:
              - 255
              - 0
              - 0
          target:
            entity_id: light.bench_light_lt
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 0
            milliseconds: 300
mode: single

whatever value I put in delay, it’s always doing around 4 seconds.

Try editing the script change a single character, say 0 to 0. You don’t change the logic but it triggers the “Save”. When you click on “Save” the syntax is checked. Maybe you will identify anerror.

Here is a test that I just ran:

alias: Test
sequence:
  - repeat:
      count: 5
      sequence:
        - service: switch.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: switch.kim_worklight_relay
          data: {}
        - delay:
            milliseconds: 500
        - service: switch.turn_off
          target:
            entity_id: switch.kim_worklight_relay
          data: {}
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 2
            milliseconds: 0
mode: single
