Automation delay expression

[Aaron Geister]

I have automations that I have created that are on schedule task. In those automation I wanted to build in a delay for a specific amount of time so that it would then transition to close after that time delay.

I created a variable called TimeDelay which is a smart value {{now.plusHours(3)fullDateTime}} but not sure how to use it to define that to the transition.

@Aaron Geister, 

You cannot do what you are asking. What I would do instead is just create a second scheduled task that runs 3 hours after the one you've got here. Then just tell it to close the ones you created earlier today.

This is what I thought just double checking.
