How do I cancel a delayed action when a scene becomes inactive?
Pending actions stop when their owner no longer applies.
Before you start
Open the intended collection/layout and prepare a safe rehearsal. Have the device, media or receiving service required by the task available.
Where to find it
See Trigger delays, cooldown and inactive cancellation for the exact controls and navigation.
Steps
- Choose the intended scene/source trigger.
- Enable Stop when inactive where offered.
- Review Start Delay and action waits, then save the edit.
- Rehearse activating then leaving the owner before the delay ends.
Check the result
Pending actions stop when their owner no longer applies.
Helpful information
This does not undo an action already performed or remove the rule.
If something is wrong
Check the owner and whether it remains active through another live use.
