sometimes a delay is necessary
still true after
between the Condition and the
Action. Therefore, the new Event

manager contains the Delay panel
true
which allows that feature with
belowsettings:
▪
No delay:whentheConditionisdetected,theActionislaunched.
▪

▪
Still true after:whentheConditionisdetected,theActionislaunchedafterthesettimeintervalonlyif
