<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<eventInterfaces>
<eventInterface module='EventHandlers.DelayedEvent' name='DelayedEvent'>
<eventtype type='http://id.webbrick.co.uk/events/webbrick/DO'>
<eventsource source='webbrick/100/DO/5'>
<event>
<params>
<testEq type='int' name='state'>

</params>
<delay delayMinutes="1">
<newEvent source='boiler/IsOff' type='internal'>
</newEvent>
</delay>
</event>
<event>
<params>
<testEq name='state'>
<value>1<value/>
</testEq>
</params>
<delay delaySeconds="23">
<newEvent source='boiler/IsOn' type='internal'>
</newEvent>
<newEvent source='hotwater/IsOn' type='internal'>
</newEvent>
</delay>
</event>
</eventsource>
</eventtype>
</eventInterface>
