Meteor Iron Router Wait for template to be rendered

Is there anyway to wait for template to be rendered and then execute certain function?

I have tried after and it doesn't work.

Router.map(function () {
  this.route('post', {
    path: '/posts/:ll',

    action: function () {
      this.render('home');
    },

    after: function () {
      var n = this.params.ll
       UI.insert(UI.render(Template[n]), document.getElementById("child"))
    }
  });
});

Turns out the child element doesn't exist yet because the 'home' template isn't yet rendered when the after function is fired.

Any suggestion or work around is highly appreciated.

Use onAfterAction instead of after

Can you do this:

action: function () {
  this.render('home');
  Template.home.rendered = function() {
    // ...
    Template.home.rendered = null;
  };
},
