The Timer (timer) node pauses the workflow for a configured amount of time, then lets the nodes connected after it run. Use it to space out actions — for example, wait 30 seconds between two commands, or hold before re-checking a condition.
Palette category: Decision & Control Flow. Runs on cloud workflows and edge workers (identical wait duration in both).

Configuration

The wait resolves to duration × 60 seconds for minutes, or duration seconds for seconds. Durations are capped at 24 hours.

Behavior

The Timer simply waits, then completes — the nodes wired after it run next, exactly as they would after any other node. Nothing else is required to “trigger” them.
A Timer cannot be placed downstream of a Camera Frame trigger: a wait would block the per-frame processing loop. Use it in manual, mission, schedule, or message-triggered workflows.
