Macro to hold a button for x seconds

[darkovertones]

I'm looking for a way to make a macro that will hold down the trigger for a fixed period of time and release it.

For example:
-Push button 5
-Button 1 is depressed
-Wait 5 seconds
-Button 1 is released

I tried to create a Button_Alt (on physical button 40) with an output of button 1. Then I used a Macro to trigger button 40, wait 5 seconds, and trigger 40 again.

This is how I learned that Macros trigger logical buttons and not physical buttons!

Any help is appreciated!

Maybe try using generators?

This is the right answer! Thank you!

I had only seen generators referenced in a pulsing capacity and didn't know they could do this.

For others that may come later, the right answer is...

Generator on the Physical layer:

1. Generator Type: GT
2. Time (x10ms): 500
3. Multiplier: x10
4. Select output as Button 1
