What would be the best way to implement a delay for an SNMP Get operation, when the device needs some time to process a WRITE-only SNMP Set parameter?
Example :
- a 'Load Presets' BUTTON. (write only SNMP action)
- the device needs some time to prepare the presets
In this particular case we cannot immediately retrieve the Presets, because the device needs some time to prepare them.
What is the best practice for delaying the SNMP Get operation after having executed the SNMP set action?

Not my area of expertise but recently had a similar situation where we needed to introduce a delay between a SET/GET pair. Once we understood the device behaviour we made use of the next attribute of the Protocol.Groups.Group.Content.Pair and it worked well.

Indeed it was a serial connection…thought it would translate to SNMP also. Like I said not an expert 🙂
You mention pairs, but that is a serial connection, this protocol is SNMP, however the next attribute does exist beyond pairs as well.
