Hi,

I am creating an Alarm Clock using the castv2 node.

A function node (advised by castv2 maker) is used to send a message in a special format to the Google Home device(s).  
Each message contains a command to control a cast [MEDIA, TTS, STOP, PLAY, VOLUME, CLOSE etc.]

Now for the Alarm Clock I have to send the following commands VOLUME, MEDIA:

- Set volume to 50  
(wait a few seconds to finish the VOLUME command)
- Cast a Media file (internet radio stream)

In my current flow this are 2 function nodes which have to be send in the listed order and with a certain delay, because the commands overrule eachother on the casting device(s). Now I use a QUEUE node for sequencing the commands to the castv2 Node.

Since I use domoticz as software I use a Switch to trigger the Alarm Clock.  
Switches in domoticz have timer options (which I use to set the Alarm at certain times)  
Also here a function node is used to filter the IDX of the domoticz switch:  
When IDX=243 && nvalue=1 (switch on), the 2 function nodes (castv2 commands) are activated.

This are 3 function nodes. Is there a more efficient way to combine the functions and queue node?  
Because I also want to STOP and CLOSE the MEDIA (again 3 sepparate commands) when the Domoticz switch is set to off (nvalue=0)
