Scene Waiting

if “Wait for Control Ack” is checked. The scene will delay processing the actions below. Until the feedback (acknowledgment) of the control signal is received.
If “Max Retry” is not zero, and the control failed to execute for any reason, the system will keep retrying for times specified.
If “Exit on Failure” is checked, the scene will finish without executing the following actions.
If “Wait for Seconds” is not zero, the scene will wait for extra seconds specified before processing the following actions.
