Re: 24v ac delay
Correction, the relay I use is a G3VM-62C1. It costs $3.19, quite a bargin I think.
And yes, it always delays a restart after the power goes out, but only after the power goes out. As long as to power is on, the relay stays latched. The thermostat will not restart faster than 4 - 5 minutes on its own, but it has no provision for delay after a power loss.

Re: 24v ac delay
One more item re the generator. I want to know when it is running. A little Rf remote system seemed the way to go, but I had to sense when the unit was running. Since it is an emergency unit, I did not want to tap its electrical system, for fear a short would would mess it up, or might affect the warranty.
My solution was to mount a reed switch near the alternator which controls power for a battery powered pic controlled transmitter. The receiver is in the house, mounted in a hollow book I got at a hobby store. It works great so far.
