Custom Widget question

Hey everyone.

So my question is, and due to delay, I may need to do this at the sensor rather than at MyC.

So from my earlier post, I am using MyC paired with MySensors over Ethernet, to control my home standby generator. Now, I have the relays piped into MyC, and they function, but one of them is going to control crank. So here is my question: Is there a variable to make a latched relay into momentary?

@fdlou147 You can simply turn the relay on and off again in quick succession.... Or am I missing the point here?

@fdlou147 I assuming that you want to turn ON two relays and turn OFF one relay after some seconds,

Assume,
Main relay: R1
Secondary relay: R2

If so you can do in the following steps.

Create two Operations:

• Turn ON R2

• Turn OFF R2 with delayed option (delay in seconds)

Create a rule,

• When your Primary relay turned ON
• Execute the operations created on previous steps

Note: Ignore Sensor names here. I took it from my setup to make this example.

That actually will work! I'm looking for when I trip the secondary relay(generator starter circuit) it shuts off after x time so it's not constantly cranking when the Gen is fired.
