Look at the Rules page. It explains how to use Backlog

Subject: Combine commands to Tasmota - Sonoff's
 
Hi, I'm a new Tasmota user, and using node-RED to send commands via MQTT to my sonoff R1's. All works well, but I have a sonoff in my greenhouse which is used to switch on/off a watering system.
Unfortunately the RSSI is pretty low and sometimes the 'OFF' msg is delayed (causing flooding!!!), so instead of sending separate ON and OFF messages, I would like to send just one MQTT message that tells the sonoff to;
Switch ON -> wait 5 minutes -> Switch OFF
Is that possible?

You could also use Blinkcount 1 Blinktime 3000. The command would then be power1 3 which would turn the output on for 5 minutes then automatically turn off

Sorry, could you give me an example of how that should be structured? I've read (but don't understand) the rules section.
You suggested "Blinkcount 1 Blinktime 3000", where is that added? there isn't a 'rules' section in the tasmota config to add it.

Blinkcount is on the Commands page as is Backlog. You need to read the docs. It explains how to create rules in Console

Oh, I understand now!
Set the MQTT msg topic to 'cmnd/sonoff2/Backlog'
...and the msg payload to 'Power ON; Delay 3000; Power OFF'

Works perfectly.
Thanks
