is there a way to make a switch turn off and on to make the light flash every idk like, every 2 sec, like a continuous flashing for 30 sec?

(i want to to flash when someone presses the doorbell, i could technically make it to turn on, the wait 1 sec turn off, then wait 1 sec and turn on, again and again, is there a better way tho?

Use the repeat block
Repeat:
Count: 15
light.toggle
wait: 2 seconds

is 500 ms too low, will it ruin the tp link smart switch?

sounds like it'll be incredibly annoying either way 😛

well its more for when we not home, and kinda want to scare people getting close to home

#

so its like if someones home, so they dont try to break in

yes, because when i'm home my immediate reaction to the doorbell is toggling all the lights for half a minute 😛

i mean it kinda scares them away, as everyone wouldnt think its a smart house
