How to set a input_number as a delay time

Configuration
,
#1

I try to use a input_number (input_number.temps_remplissage) to set up a delay in automation, to keep possibility to quick change de value on the dashboard…
I try something like this in template…

alias: test
- id: '1122334459999'
  alias: delaytest
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: switch.relay_pression
    for:
      seconds: "{{ states('input_number.temps_remplissage') | int(0) }}"
    platform: state
    to: 'off'

I probably completly wrong but if someone have any clue…

Please edit your post and format your pasted config as per point 11 here.

seconds: "{{ states('input_number.temps_remplissage') | int }}"

Work well Thanks!
I was not too far…:sweat_smile:

In that case, it is possible to use delay in condition?
if gas detect turn off if not apply the delay than turn off…

Use a state condition rather than a device condition and you can.

#7

I don’t see how to put the delay in condition… :face_with_monocle:

#8

You can use delay to suspend the execution of action (not to suspend the processing of a condition).

Whatever you use in condition is processed immediately after the trigger occurs. It doesn’t pause or wait for something else to happen before it proceeds to execute the action. Basically, everything within condition serves as a go/no-go filter to determine if it should or should not execute action.

Ok, but in my case it is the reverse that I am trying to obtain, I want to turn off a relay after a certain delay, unless the water level is reached before

#10

I also try witout condition
but I have this message: ‘‘Message malformed: expected a dictionary @ data[‘sequence’][9][‘wait_for_trigger’][1]’’

The error message is referring to the second par

Items in a list are numbered starting with zero. So the first item is 0, the second is 1, etc. The error message refers to ['wait_for_trigger'][1] which means the second item in wait_for_trigger. What is the second item in your wait_for_template? It’s this invalid entry here:

      - null

Remove it.

In addition, the template for timeout is missing an initial single quote to match its terminating single quote. Add the missing single quote.

Glad to hear it.

You should mark tom_l’s post with the Solution tag because it answers the question in your original post. What I supplied answers your follow-up question and isn’t the solution to the original question.
