Blockly event does not get fired.

This 'Device' event gets fired if one of my PIR sensors changes state to 'On' and security status is 'Armed Away'. I set a delay so i have time to disarm the system when entering home:
- PIR_On_Device.jpg (28.98 KiB) Viewed 992 times
The problem is that the following script (script type: 'Time') does not get fired after the value of 'disarm_delay_expired' changes to '1':
- PIR_Alarm.jpg (22.55 KiB) Viewed 992 times
What is the problem?

As far as I know, the changing state of a variable does not trigger an event. Try making it an On/Off dummy switch and have that sending a message when it is turned on.

Yes but as its a timed event (script type: 'Time'), the state of the variable should be checked in every minute. Or did i miss something? Thank You.

I think it needs a Time test to fire as time script like I also mentioned in this thread:

Then, what is the purpose of 'UserVariable' event type?
