Delay for battery auto-probe

[Simpleton350]

I use an IKEA Parasoll door sensor (Zigbee), whose battery status keeps going stale in Tasmota's UI (greyed-out icon). Looking into this, I noticed that Tasmota sends its battery auto-probe request the very moment it receives an event from the device. However, it appears that at that moment the Parasoll is not responsive, so no battery status report comes back. If I manually make the same request at least a second later, though, it does respond.

I am wondering how to make Tasmota wait for at least a second before sending its battery auto-probe.

18:11:24.607 ZIG: Battery auto-probe `ZbSend {"Device":"0x4504","Read":{"BatteryPercentage":true,"BatteryVoltage":true}}`
18:11:24.617 MQT: tele/tasmota_main/SENSOR = {"ZbReceived":{"Door_contact3":{"Device":"0x4504","Name":"Door_contact3","0500?00":"000000010000","ZoneStatusChange":0,"ZoneStatusChangeZone":1,"Contact":0,"Endpoint":2,"LinkQuality":94}}}

Seems odd that the device is not responsive when it sends data....

The code doing the probing says "now" without delay. I suppose that a possible workaround could be to disable auto-probe via SetOption143, and have your own rules to issue the indicated ZbSend command (with name instead of short addr), possibly with similar logic about only probing when the data is not already fresh enough.

The code could also be modified to have a new #define symbol for the delay, defaulting to 0 for "now".
