Berry: tasmota_set_timer question

[jkwim]

I want to operate one Tasmota device based on MQTT tele message received from another device.

I need the action to be delayed by certain number of seconds.

My code structure looks like this:

def function2()
 print("this is function2")
end

def tele_sensor(topic, idx, payload_s, payload_b)
  var sensordata = json.load(payload_s)
  if <some condition on sensor value/s>
    tasmota.set_timer(20000, function2) #20,000ms
  end
end

mqtt.subscribe(topic, tele_sensor)

If I execute following on Berry Console, the delay timer works fine.

tasmota.set_timer(20000, function2) #20,000ms
However during code execution the delayed execution does not happen.

I can confirm that the if condition is triggered and code before the tasmota_set_timer command get executed.

What am I doing wrong here?

Well, first make sure that you are right about "delayed execution does not happen". What I mean is that for some reason, you may not always see print() messages appear in the Berry REPL console, but usually still get them visible in the "classic" console.

Thanks. I managed to fiddle around with the code more and confirm from console as you have suggested.

Now I figured out another issue with my logic to further add the functionality that I want. Working on it.
