A switch is not always equivalent to a “power switch”. A switch can be used for many different things… power just being one of them so there are a lot of use cases for setting state at sequence start.
That said, we realize that “power switches” are a very common type of switch and the beta has added a bunch of new options for using them in this manner. Specifically:
- Coordinate a delay between switch state application and equipment connect
- Coordinate the order that switch state is to be applied
- Coordinate delays between individual switches in a switch state
