I've been trying to work out how to turn a device on for a set time by using a toggle switch (slide to turn on) and reset to toggle switch back to the off position after the trigger has completed. This is what I have done but it just goes into a continuous loop by restarting the trigger every time I tell the toggle switch to go back to the off postion. It seems that the toggle switches are just flip flops. I am a novice and any help would be appreciated. This is my flow:

sneaky trick - if you use the off command to reset the trigger
that will stop that
