The action will pause until the specified value (or key) exists.
Key value to no longer exist
The action will pause until the specified value (or key) no longer exists. A blank string value does not qualify as non-existence.

The action will pause until the key value has changed from the value read when the action begins waiting.
Key value to match
The action will pause until the key value until the key value matches the specified "Wait Value".
Key value to match as substring
The action will pause until the key value contains the specified "Wait Value" as a substring.
Wait Value
Specify the value to wait for, in the case of the last two Wait For options.
String values are treated literally. DWORD values are treated as their integer values. Binary data blocks are extracted as byte strings. No other data types are supported.
