is random really not so random?

Hi,
No, it's not really random. From the manual

What you can do (don't know if it's enough though) is to seed to "randomizer". You do this by presetting VAR (stardelay in your case) with a number which will be used as the seed. If you initialise startdelay variable to a different value on each device they won't act the same. Each individual device will, however, act the same every time it starts up - just not equal to the one next to it.

Like I said, don't know if that's "random" enough for you.

While that woudl work, it would be just as simple to set a pause of different lengths on different devices. For the sake of programming hundreds of these things, it would be good if i could use the same program or i'll be compiling a lot of different variants.. I'm just trying to think what i coudl use to provide some 'randomness' to the seeding..
