Hi James, Callouts are perfect for this type of function. I’d recommend multiplexing this within the task context you are running out of. Essentially the logic works like: - Turn the LED on - Set a callout for 1 second to turn the LED back off If your task is waiting on an event queue,

Correct way to add a task that only runs once

Hi, I want to be able to flash an LED on for ~1 second when some condition occurs. I don't want this to be flashing all the time like the blinky example. What's the right way to add a task that runs only once? Or should I not be using a task at all for this? Cheers James
