Using Milliseconds in Rules.

Objective is to use a relay to do the same thing as the push button in my garage. To do that I just need the relay to turn on then off again for about 500 milliseconds. I've worked out how to use a timer in the rules to turn the relay off after a second but I really don't need it on for a full second. Is it possible to use milliseconds in the rules?
I have openHAB2 sending a MQTT to the ESP and the rule I set below to turn the switch off.
Any help or advice would be great.
Code: Select all
on Garage_Door#ON do
gpio,5,1
timerSet,1,1
endon
On Rules#Timer=1 do
gpio,5,0
endon

Hi,
You have the pulse command for that

I've used it for a remote controller, and it works quite well!

Hi bfabien
Thank you so much, I figured it had to be something simple but I'm just getting started using ESP Easy and didn't know the pulse command was an option.
Funny enough I did see the GPIO command for simple on off and am using it on outlet switches I guess I just stopped reading that page after I figured out how to control the relay.
Thanks again you have no idea how much this helps.

Could you share your final solution for your garage door and the momentary button press?
