You have to be very careful with this, it is possible but it is clearly not how HS was designed and as such just be mindful. You may also cause an increase in Z-Wave traffic that is not welcome either, I think this is how I did it last.
Main Event
Trigger: recurring every ten seconds
Condition: flashing lamp on
Actions:
turn light on
wait five seconds
turn light off
trigger event "flashing lamp condition check"
flashing lamp condition check
Trigger: Manually Triggered
Actions: Run event - check conditions - Main event
as such it should recur every ten seconds as long as flashing lamp device is on, turn the light on, turn it off after five seconds, then trigger itself again when the condition check gets called.

This is a slightly different take.
Event to flash light.
If a recurring trigger happens every 2 seconds.
And If (a virtual device) is On
Then: Turn on the light
Then: Turn off the light after a delay of one second
Event to Start the flashing.
If this event is manually triggered
Then: Turn on (the virtual device)
Event to stop the flashing.
If this event is manually triggered
Then: Turn off (the virtual device)Mike____________________________________________________________ __________________

Ok, one more way but relies on using the EasyTrigger plug-in:
Create a timer, call it FlashTimer.
BlinkLight:
if FlashTimer becomes 2 seconds
Then Toggle Device X between Off & On (EasyTrigger)
Then Restart timer FlashTimer
To start blinking Restart Timer FlashTimer
To stop blinking stop the timer FlashTimer
This is basically what I use although I've removed a few bells & whistles. There's a slight hole in this if you stop the FlashTimer exactly when it hits 2 seconds which is part of the bells and whistles stuff. You can code around that.Last edited by andyf; December 20, 2017, 05:15 PM.

I misread the subject of this post as "Create Fishing Lights" which got me excited. But flashing lights is something else I wanted to do, and this thread gave me some good ideas. Now on to thinking about fishing lights....HS Pro 3.0 | Linux Ubuntu 16.04 x64 virtualized under Proxmox (KVM)
