Timeout

The Timeout event displays a state for a predetermined period of time before an action occurs. In the Specify timeout (seconds) field, specify the number of seconds the state should display before the action occurs.

When a Timeout event leads to an HTML widget, you should expect a multi-second delay while the HTML site is loading. HTML states wait until the page is fully loaded before they are displayed to prevent signage consumers from watching pages load. You should consider how the following factors will affect the load time of the page when assigning events to the state:

Your internet connection will affect load time for HTML pages, adding some number of seconds to the specified timeout event
The timeout value in seconds plus the page load delay in seconds will equal the actual time between the previous state and the display of the HTML on the screen.
Results may vary based on your connection speed and the complexity of the HTML page.
