Would like to come up with something a little better for my bathroom fans. Right now they are just on a regular WS-100 and the event is set to wait 25 minutes after the device changes to on, then it turns it off. It is simple, but it mostly works. The downside is if you manually turn it off before than 25 minutes, homeseer then ends up shutting it off again at the 25 minute mark. What I would like to do is have it be some sort of a counter/timer-not sure which would be better at this point as I'm not quite understanding the difference well- that would increment 15 minutes for everytime the paddle is tapped. Tap it once, the fan runs for 15 minutes, tap it again before it is off-add another 15 minutes. How would I do this?

Do you have a motion sensor in the bathroom?
Here is is what I would do:
The On Event removes any previously created Delayed Device Actions then creates a fresh one to turn the fan Off after 15 minutes. The result is that the fan will turn Off 15 minutes after the last press of the upper paddle. Each time you press the button the time starts over. If you turn the fan Off before the time is up, it won’t matter, because if you turn it back on immediately, it will delete the Delayed Device Action and start the 15 minute timer.
If you want you can create a double tap event that will set it for a 30 minute delay.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.16 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

I copied your event and it seems like it is working. So just to make sure I understand this, for every time the scene one key is pressed, it will remove the previous event of turning it off after 15 minutes? Eventually I would like to have it incorporate a humidity sensor but that is down the road.

just an idea for bathroom fan, this is what I did and works well:
built a vox kit, which is a vox controlled switch, cut a small hole in the wall in back of the pipe that goes to the shower and cabled tied the mike from the vox to the pipe
now when the water get turned it turns the bathroom fan on and I just send a off command it 8:00 am, hope this helps someone
ebay number for the vox is 182167126825
