xPL Timer app needed?

[steve.cooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

One thing that is missing in xPL is some method of having a dynamic delay.
e.g. I want this to happen 10 minutes after I receive this trigger.  At
least I can't think of a way to achieve this, correct me if I'm wrong
please.

So the question is do we put something in xPLHal to enable this or do we
have some sort of xPL timer app that could be used to with determinators.
So when you get a sensor message from device SCOOP-HV.PC1

sensor.basic
{
device=Flag 1
type=FLAG
current=SET
name=My HV flag
}

a determinator would catch that and say you want a 5 minute delay on that
event send out a

control.basic
{
device=SCOOP-HV.PC1
type=delay
current=300
}

then 300 seconds later it sends out a

sensor.basic
{
device=SCOOP-HV.PC1
type=delay
current=0
}

which in turn could trigger another determinator.

Any suggestions welcome this is just a first guess at how it might work.
