There is no official way to run something “later” in the gateway. The closest would be to use a sleep inside of a invokeAsynchronous() thread. If you do this often, consider using a fast timer event script, checking a timestamp to tell it when to write false.

Another possibility would be to use the ‘invokeLater’ emulation from [later.py](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/later.py). It uses an unofficial interface, though.
