Turn off device using variable

[bpm32]

I can't come with a solution for the life of me. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a device ("a1") turning on - let's say at 7am.

A virtual device ("v1") holds a minute value - anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. This value changes periodically.

I'd like for the device ("a1) that comes on at 7am to turn off X number of minutes later - whatever number of minutes are held in the virtual device ("v1").

Any ideas how I could go about this?

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to use the built in HS stuff you can start by having a look at this script and modifying it to your needs:

I haven't tested this, but I think it would work.
Create an event to turn A1 off. I'll call it "TurnOffA1".
Then add an immediate script action to your event that turns A1 on, with the script statement:
&hs.DelayTrigger hs.DeviceValue("V1")*60, "TurnOffA1"

Thank you both for your replies. I tried Michael's first and it worked great.

I may find lots of other places to use this now.

Thanks!
