Time delay command: suggestion

[Domoticatorino]

Hi,
I am preparing a logic to manage an heating system.

Considering that I have to set TOF or TON (set to ON or OFF a grp address only if the condition is valid for more than 5 or 10 minutes). 

Using "os.delay"  for minutes is not suggested as you know.

Which is the best approach to manage it?

Thanks.
