I’m fairly new to Home Assistant, but I think learning of how to do this next bit would push my thoughts further.
So far what I’ve done is setup 2 push buttons that control my Dust Collector and a Dust Filtration. Works great.
Now I’m thinking that since I have 3 unused plugs that have power monitor, I’ve got a thought to use plug (Sander Plug) one to see when power is being used (plug would be on all the time). When power is on, it will have an automation that would turn on another plug (Dust Deputy Plug). The Sander Plug will then turn on the plug for the Dust Deputy Plug. Of that automation, it will also turn on the plug for the Dust Filtration. When the Sander Plug see no more power usage, it would turn of the Dust Deputy Plug after 5-10 seconds. However, I don’t want the Dust Filtration plug to turn off, I’d like it to be running for 10-15 minutes. My thought is there a way to make a “FLAG” that would be set to true when the Sander Plug is activated?
Thanks, Michael
