Thanks for the response. We don't have any timers or delay switches anywhere in our house.
I probably didn't communicate the behavior well. The delay is only there immediately after I switch on the circuit breaker. I can toggle the light switch in the foyer off and on and and it works normally after that for months until I turn the circuit breaker off and on again. With the light switch on, Several minutes later after flipping the breaker on, The lights come on all by themselves and things are normal after that again. After that there is no delay and the switch turns the lights on and off immediately again... Until I turn the circuit breaker off and on again some time later. I have done this about 3 times now over about a 5 month period and seen the same behavior.
EDIT: FYI.. The doorbell is also on that circuit breaker too in case that might be a factor.
