    A way to add a delay to a real device ?

    My tv is almost always going in standby mode when i turn it off. I think it is a bug.

    anyways. I was using a z wave to know when the tv is on or off ( if the tv consume 0 w then is its off. ...etc)


    but with the bug... it was really hard to construct events with a variable wattage...( the wattage is always changing ... and never goes to 0 in standby mode..)

    so i name my s wave switch ''living room tv'' and when the switch is on then the receive electricity and it goes on... when i turn it off ( the tv goes off obviously)...
    And this is the part i do not like..


    so i would like to add a delay to the zwave switch... to be able to send a off command ( with harmony ) before it actually goes off.


    is there a way to do this?
    i tried to do this with a virtual device... but got a bunch a weird behavior.


    i need to know when the tv is off or on.... because i got a lot of events depending on that.

    I do this. I use an appliance module. I needed a way to tell if the tv was on or not.

      If your TV and or AMP are modern they have an HDMI port and an Ethernet port ===> So if you use them both together, interlink them with an HDMI lead to power each other on/off using HDMI-cec . Then connect RJ45 leads to them so that HS3 can detect their power status using either of two plugins ====> BLLAN or UltraMon3 and base your events on that.


      NOTE: HDMI-cec works in sleep state but if you also use Zwave to completely power them off then the plugins show their network status!
