Wait Until - Entity State is x for xx Minutes

[shrub100]

Just wondering if there is a way to get the 'Wait Until' node to not only wait until a state reaches a specific status, but to wait until it has been in this status for a set period of time. I can do this in the standard 'Current State' node, but I have to put a retrigger after a certain period of time to continually check the state - which is a bit messy.

If there is a better way of doing this in the existing config let me know. Else I think think this would be a useful little tweak :-)

Thanks for all the hard work by the way... loving node-red with HA!

I use a wait until node with an events: state node wired to a join node. The wait until node triggers immediately, the events: state node triggers after the entity has been in the required state for the required amount of time. Once that occurs the join node will pass the message.

In some complex scenarios, this may not work well. For example, in a certain situation, if you are waiting, you might need to cancel.
