kitControl-BooleanDelay

This component delays the status change of a Boolean status Out property value by the amount of time configured in the associated Delay property.

BooleanDelay is available in the Timer folder of the kitControl palette.

Delays relate to on (true) and off (false) statuses and are labeled On Delay and Off Delay respectively. The delay applies to any transition (status change from on to off or off to on) at the component’s status Boolean input. You configure both delay times in terms of hours, minutes and seconds.

Property	Value	Description
Facets	Config Facets window (defaults to true and false)	Defines the text to display for each Boolean value. `trueText` configures the text to describe the state when the component returns `true.` `falseText` configures the text to describe the state when the component returns `false.` For example, `trueText` might display ON or Enabled, and `falseText` OFF or Disabled.
In	`true` and `false` (default) and null definition	Configures the default input value when no Boolean out value is linked to it. Typically, you link a Boolean Out to this property, in which case, you do not need to manually configure it. You would set this property to `true`, `false` or `null` if no out is linked to it. When this property’s status changes, the framework passes this value to the `Out` and `Out Not` properties after any `On Delay` or `Off Delay`. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
On Delay	hours, minutes, seconds (defaults to one second)	Sets the amount of time to wait before sending a true value to the `Out` property. Time begins to expire the moment the `In` property changes from false or null to true.
Off Delay	hours, minutes, seconds (defaults to one second)	Sets the amount of time to wait before sending a false value to the `Out` property. Time begins to expire at the moment the `In` property changes from true to false or from false to true .
On Delay Active	read-only (normally false)	Shows if the `On Delay` time is actively counting down. This value changes to true when the `In` property transitions from false to true and stays unchanged until any `Off Delay` time expires. If `On Delay` is set to zero (0), this value does not change to true.
Off Delay Active	read-only (normally false)	Shows if the `Off Delay` time is actively counting down. This value changes to true when the `In` property transitions from true to false and stays unchanged until any `Off Delay` time expires. If `On Delay` is set to zero (0), this value does not change to true.
Out	`true` , `false` and null definition	Reflects the `In` property value at the end of any `On Delay` or `Off Delay`. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Out Not	`true` , `false` and null definition	Reflects the inverse of the `In` property value at the end of any `On Delay` or `Off Delay`. For example, when the `In` value is true, the `Out Not` value is set to false after any delay expires. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
