Otherwise, it is possible to use the scene, but there is a problem with Delay. If I set Inching for e.g. 5 hours, then if I turn the device off and on again after an hour, Inching will start running again for 5 hours, whereas in the scene with the scene being turned on, the Delay only counts from the first time the scene is turned on, if I were to start the scene again in an hour , the countdown ends anyway in 4 hours and not in 5 hours, as I expected, and there is no way to end the scene with Delay, only to wait, which is a problem with a long time. An option would be to somehow end the countdown on an already running scene in the APP so that it ends and then start the scene again. However, eWeLink would have to somehow figure out how to end the countdown for a scene started in this way.
I wrote about it on the forum many times… here is one example. What you are looking for is dynamic stop/start time counting control. eWeLink, of course, does not provide this.
So you want to have a stopwatch that will be reset every time the sensor is activated…
You can achieve this using ewelink + https://sequematic.com
On the ewelink side you will need two scenes.
On the SM side you will need three sequences and pairing your ewelink account and one variable.

On the ewelink side, you need two scenes, one to start the countdown and the other to change the value of the variable so that there are no mistakes, let’s call it STOP.
On the SM side, we need thre…
Of course, I would not call it “Inching” under any circumstances, because my solution requires access to the Internet, while the “Inching” function in Sonoff devices works locally and will work without access to the cloud.
