Is there anyway to use inching in reverse. I want to reset something once a day so I hoped I could set the mini to turn off for 5 seconds everyday at 3am?

As far as I know, probably not, but maybe it was planned. So what about setting up an automatic scene that only turns on at the specified time, turns off the device, then has a 5s delay, then turns the device back on?

The only drawback, the scene will not be performed without an Internet connection, this would not be a risk with reverse inching.

Yes it was the lack of it switching back on as a default that would stop me setting up a scene
