This is a great idea and we’ve been looking at it for quite a while. I agree it could be quite useful when combined with Astrid integration. For example, a location-aware reminder would be really useful a few minutes after arrival, rather than right when walking in the door.
A key requirement would be that the delay should be very consistent and predictable. For example, if I ask for a reminder 30 minutes after I get home, it should always be exactly 30 minutes after I get home. Thanks to Locale 2.0’s instant location, we are now be able to meet this requirement.
I have a few open questions about this as we go forward with investigating how this might work:
- Should there be delayed conditions? Or should this be implemented as delayed settings? (The end result would be the same, but each requires a different mental model) -… moreBrian White

Like Ryan said...
I've found that many conditions would benefit from "after being active for X time" (with X perhaps being seconds, minutes, or even hours).
- lost cell signal (after 10 minutes)
- wifi enabled (after 30s for it to connect)
- got up in the morning (after 1 hour)
Rather than have all the plug-ins try to support this, it would make sense to have it supported by the main app.
BTW, this would apply to both the condition appearing and the condition going away, probably with different delays for each.
