TJF1960, I have it set to 9 minutes, but after about 7 minutes, it is at zero. This works for me, but, I'm sure my wife will find a way to make this more work! HAHA! Yep. After testing with the lights dimmed, the program didn't work as intended. I set all the dimmers to "IS NOT OFF" and that seems to be working. Thanks for the tips and the help. oberkc, Just the good night button. The system seems to be working the way I like locally, but when I was testing again with the dimmers, I noticed that I have no control of the "Night Scene" via the ISY and subsequently via Mobilinc. In other words, I cannot control the scene from any where other than the local kpl. It's working so well now, that I hesitate to monkey with it, so I'm gonna ask before I try to fix this. Any suggestions? Thanks, hyounker

Well, after playing with this for much too long, I have finally got it working in a way that is acceptable now. Please review and tell me if I have created any problems for myself down the road. Thanks. First, I created the scene with the lights that will be controlled. Three lights go "Fast Off", one light goes to 40% as a night light, and the bedroom light ramps to 0% in 9 minutes. I'll probably add more later lights, but for now, it works. I called the scene "Night Time" because I kept tripping myself up with the scene name and the button name. I kept the button at "Good Night". Then, I created a program that turns the scene on when I press the "Good Night" button on the kpl in our bedroom: If Control 'Good Night' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Night Time' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Then, to control the light in the kpl, I created a scene with the "Good Night" button in it as a responder. Then, a program to control that button's light: If Status 'Antler Chandelier' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Lights' is On Or Status 'Brkfst Table Lights' is On Or Status 'Mstr Bedroom Fan Lights' is On Or Status 'Patio Door Lights' is On Then Set Scene 'Night Time Indicator' Off Else Set Scene 'Night Time Indicator' On Again, thanks for all the help. Any advice is appreciated. hyounker

Ok. This is exactly what I wanted! Some guidance and some things to think about. I have some decisions to make and some work to do, so let me muddle through this the best I can and I'll post subsequent questions/problems asap. Thanks to both of you for your replies. hyounker

I have about 3 months experience with the ISY-99 and haven't really tried to push it and/or my capabilities yet. Here's my first learning project: I have a keypad linc in my bedroom and I'd like to label one of the buttons "Good Night". When I go to bed at night, i'd like for that button to be lit so that i can see it, and indicating that no one else has pushed it in the last several minutes. If someone has pushed it, then i'd like it to be off. Then, if no one else has pushed it, I'd like to be able to push the button and have it set several lights to various levels, most importantly, i'd like the bedroom light to ramp down to zero in about 4-5 minutes (I'll probably have to monkey with this to see how long it takes to brush teeth and settle in). From reading some of the other posts, I'm sure this is chicken feed for most of you. Unfortunately, all my attempts have resulted in unfavorable results, including some devices being inaccessible until I "talk" to them via ISY-99. I'm assuming that I first need a scene with all the preset levels of each device. I am also assuming that, somehow, I need some folders in a program to deal with the irregularities of the program. But, if I knew all this was true, i wouldn't be here asking. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much for all your work on this forum. I'm looking forward to hearing from one of the many experts that seem to make all this look easy! hyounker Oxford, GA
