I always put my variable on the TV power button buried on the TV page. It includes a jump to a please wait page. The delay is set to last until the TV is ready to show an image or accept an input. I always clear the variable with a system off.
In putting the variable there, I am free to build simple macros for sources knowing the delay will always be in play if necessary.
once he gets the hang of it, that is surely the way to go. this way if he needs to make a change to the delay or switch out the ir code, he only needs to do it in one place, and not a bunch of other buttons that may contain the same variable.
I don't necessarily put the variable right on the actual code in the device though, i will usually have a button on a hidden page of macros that contains my variable. that way if i want to access the device directly and press the power on command, i don't have to wait for the delay to finish. it comes in handy when testing/troubleshooting.
