2.5.7 TIMERS
This function allows configuring a simple timer and a flashing sequence in the output
group, being it possible to enable or disable both functions independently.
The simple timer function consists in a switch-on of the group (with an optional
delay) on the reception of the corresponding trigger object, and a later switch-
off, either automatic (after a certain period) or triggered through the
corresponding bus object, also with an optional delay in this case.
On the other hand, the flashing function consists in switching the group on and
off a certain number of times or indefinitely, according to the parameters, once
the corresponding object is received.
