Can a Kasa Smart Plug function as a momentary switch with a 1 second or longer delay
As the title says, can a Kasa Smart Plug function as a momentary switch with a 1 second or longer delay. I'm trying to cutover from Sonoff/eWeLink to Kasa switches since installing Kasa Smart Switches are so much easier to install onto my network. Plus I like the user interface better. I use them to open a gate and a garage door and need a momentary function with only a 1 or 2 second delay. All I'm able to get with the EP10 and Kasa App (iPhone) is 1 minute or longer using the Smart Action Trigger/Action. Is the EP10 capable and if not is any Kasa Smart Switch that runs on the Kasa App cabable? I'd like to keep all my devices on the Kasa App. Thanks

Most (if not all) Garage Door Openers simply close two contacts in a momentary fashion (such as pressing buttons on a remote or going directly to an opener mounted inside the garage) to Open/Close. I connect the Kasa Smart Switch to an AC Relay so I can momentarily energize the relay using the Kasa app and Smart Switch. The relay is connected to my Garage Door electronics module (or Gate or anything requiring a momentary connection) so when the Relay is energized, the Relay closes two contacts. In all my applications the Relay is connecting 'something' to Ground, aka shorting to Ground. Some Relays come with both NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed) contacts. For my application I use NO (Normally Open) so that when the relay is energized the Relay closes. Some Relays also have NC (Normally Closed) so you're 'opening' a connection versus closing one.
