Is there a way to set flags in order to track equipment state? For example, Samsung TVs need about 10 seconds in order to start accepting input change requests. I can set delays when the tv starts, but I don't want to have to wait another 10 sec when I am already watching in order to switch to a different input. I see that roomie can already track equipment state; I just need to be able to set a simple "if/ then" type of condition.

Conditional Power State delays were added in 1.9. The option is titled "Delay When Powered On" when adding commands to an Activity.

Thank you.

That did it, many thanks. I never noticed it since I always add the power commands manually.
