Print completion delay notification

Along with the idea to notify a user when bed heat finishes I would like to have a completion code way to send a notification.  My bed is huge and takes a long time to heat and cool.  I can’t remove a print until it reaches about 35c.  This can take 15 minutes or longer.  I have my end code crank up the extruded fans but it would be nice if it could monitor the bed temp and then shut down fans and send notification that the print job is ready for removal not just done being extruded.  Maybe that is already possible with some fancy end code but I haven’t figured it out. Would be a nice printer level feature to have in astroprint.

  Not sure what you're asking for here. An added delay? Maybe programmable? What for? Or are you suggesting that there is a delay you want removed?

  I want a way to add either a programable delay time after prints finish extrusion before notifications is sent or better yet a way to add a variable delay that monitors the bed temp and once the temp has reached some set value the notification is sent....

  For example I print an object, the print completes...currently my end code moves the extruder to somewhere above the print job and turns on the extrusion fans for 2 minutes (a separate bed fan control might also be used to provide better cooling, but right not that is not practical with the hardware I have).  I want a way to then monitor the bed temp to wait for the bed to get to a specific temp then, if possible shut down the fans, and then notify me the print is ready....as I think about more this, maybe I can already do this in the end G-Code...not sure....maybe I can set and wait for a Lower bed temp and if the normal astroprint complete notification is not sent until after the end Code completes this might do what I want...

  Oh yes, be able to wait for a specific temp. before sending the completed print notification, it could be useful for who has a bed, but also be able to add a delay (in seconds) before sending the notification.
