time delay and toggle

[KD-4-Lyfe]

is there a way to have an on/off toggle preferably the the on toggle has a time delay of 30seconds to turn off.

otherwise can i setup a time delay somehow besides using a G4 P### gcode

I think the "delayed_gcode" function of Klipper might solve your issue.

I found out chatGPT does some amazing work!
This is what I came up with if anyone else is looking.

[gcode_macro TOGGLE_WHITE_LIGHT]
variable_led_on: 0 # Initialize variable to track if the LED is on or off

gcode:
{% if printer["gcode_macro TOGGLE_WHITE_LIGHT"].led_on == 0 %}
SET_LED_EFFECT EFFECT=white_light # Turn on white light
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=TOGGLE_WHITE_LIGHT VARIABLE=led_on VALUE=1
UPDATE_DELAYED_GCODE ID=WHITE_LIGHT_off DURATION=10
{% else %}
SET_LED_EFFECT EFFECT=white_light stop=1 # Turn on white light
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=TOGGLE_WHITE_LIGHT VARIABLE=led_on VALUE=0
{% endif %}

[delayed_gcode WHITE_LIGHT_off]
gcode:
SET_LED_EFFECT EFFECT=white_light stop=1 # Turn off white light
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=TOGGLE_WHITE_LIGHT VARIABLE=led_on VALUE=0
