Steps

Wait

Pause before the next step

Then step — What happens. Step type then-delay.

How it works

Pauses this branch for a fixed time before the next step. Other branches keep going. "If another run is already waiting here" decides what a fresh trigger does: wait alongside, restart the wait, or stop.

Example

Device changes (Motion detected) → Control devices (hall light on) → Wait (3 min, restart) → Control devices (hall light off)

The hall light goes off three minutes after the last motion.
