Thank you, the parentheses resolved the issue and it works properly now. The else was a failed attempt at delaying action in the thought that might solve the problem.

Thank you Lee, I will try that solution right away and let you know the results.

For the life of me I can't get what I would consider to be a simple program to operate correctly. I'm sure someone out there has done this before and gotten it to work properly and can spot my error. After sunset when certain lights are turned off the program should trigger a nightlight to be turned on. The problem is that the nightlight always comes on, even when it's not sunset. My first attempt to get this to work involved setting the sunrise/sunset right in the program. But since I have moved onto creating a variable for night. If the sun has set (night time) = 1, if the sun is out (daytime) = 0. Any help on getting this program to function ONLY when it's dark outside? ----------- If $Night is 1 And Control '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen Sink' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen Sink / Kitchen Sink.D.OFF' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen Table / Kitchen Table.D.OFF' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen / Kitchen.D.OFF' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / Mud Room / Mud Room.D.OFF' is switched Off Or Control '1ST FLOOR / TV Remote( IRLink) / TV Remote.J.HOME' is switched Off Then Set '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen Under.Stove' 20% Set '1ST FLOOR / Kitchen Sink' 24% Else Wait 15 seconds

If this was a free product, I could understand this kind of an oversight. But frankly, this is a tiny change and should be resolved during the next update without excuse. Please change the yellow text to something which is readable, transforming this product from unusable to usable.

This is an understatement. The yellow color is an amazingly bad choice, a graphic designer should have been hired. Any help on changing the colors?

I will. Thanks again for the help.

I believe it's more complicated than it should be. Some of these issues should be handled automatically in the software. I suspect part of the reason why it isn’t is that this system relies on two different vendors whose systems may not always have the same objectives.

Basically this has solved the problem, thanks. I suppose now to get one scene button to go off when I choose a diffrent scene I'll have to add in responders as well. For example, when I choose the scene "cook" and then later choose the scene "watch tv" cook's LED should turn off and only watch tv's LED should remain lit. This seems like a great deal of cross linking, I could just setup triggers to turn off one scene when other one has been turned on.

Give Remote Desktop a try, do not be intimidated! LOL. It's easy to setup, the hardest part is setting your home router to allow the ports and direct them to the computer you want to access. Failing that, if you want the really easy way out, try GoToMyPC. I suspect that won't be restricted either, however, it costs something like 9/month.

The all off button is turning all of the lights off in a particular area, but in this case it happens to turn off all of the lights in the scene as well. And yes, you are correct, it will not be reflected in the LED. I an reading another post after doing some extensive searching that the key to this may be to add to my "all off" button as a responder to the scene. Here's the post: http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=5364&highlight=led+status The user kingwr seems to explain it well: His solution is the following: I'm going to give this a try.

Have you considered Windows Remote Desktop? Most offices don't restrict it and you could connect to your home computer and access anything you want. It's built right into all versions of the Windows OS.

Thanks. I will run some tests after putting some of the buttons back into toggle mode and post the results. I have run the tests with some interesting results- 1) You are correct if you set the buttons to toggle mode, you press the button once to turn the scene on, all of the other button lights that control that exact scene also come on, you press it again they go off... so in that sense what you say in toggle mode is completely true. 2) However, when you turn on a scene in toggle mode and then press another button, lets say an "all off" button, the scene goes off, but the scene button led remains lit, even if all the loads in the scene are now off. This is pretty serious limitation and I would probably consider it to be a bug. I might be able to overcome it with some programming in the program section, however, this should not be required. Any scene button should automatically go off when all of the loads are off. Another result of this bug is that you may have to press your scene button TWICE to turn the scene back on after having turned it off by pressing another button. 3) When the buttons are in either on or off only mode, this limitation does not apply, but all of the "on" buttons are always lit and all of the "off" buttons are always not lit (except when they are pressed and only briefly while running the script). 4) I wonder if playing with the "exclusive" controls will allow me to tell the LEDs when to come on or go off and help with this status isssue. I have not tried, because the system warns you that this can mess up the scenes. As a side note, other system I have worked with do not have this limitation. If you have an extra 100K floating around and want to install something with some serious capabilities, try Vantage Controls. You can control the LED of each button by declaring "LED on when all loads are at 100%", "LED on when all loads are at any %", and many other variations.

Thanks. I will run some tests after putting some of the buttons back into toggle mode and post the results.

What if they are not in toggle mode, but in ON or OFF mode instead? There are no programs setup, btw.

OK, that may have been a mistake on my part, I don't want to get sidetracked onto that, it was just a guess that it may be a contributing factor to the status issue. My main concern is the fact that status is not correctly reported by the buttons, where diffrent buttons control the same scene. In other words, when I press off, I want all those scene buttons to go off on all of the keypads. These are all dimmers (I don't think SH makes a multiple button relay?). The loads are a mixture of LED lights and incandescent (though I do not believe that matter in this particular case).
