Thanks for the info. I will give it a try and bring some feedback on what best worked.

The shades are driven by somfy motors. The control is done by the ISY via an ethernet to serial converter followed by a 16 channels Somfy wireless controler. I did try not waiting at all without success. I think in this case the serires of commands are sent "so quick" that they are missed by the Somfy motors. On the other hand, is there a way to make the program/ISY "work" for some time less than one second? Instead of using Wait command, can we stack a series of "dummy" commands that "waste" time for the desired duration? ( a technique used some time in BASIC programing)

I use ISY to automatically open and close all shades around the house. The shades are Silhouette type. When fully down the blinds in this type of shades go horizontal which still let some light in. In order to "shut down" a shade it should be lifted up briefely allowing the blinds to shut. I use an ISY program that sends a down command, wait 15 seconds, then an up command, wait One second and then send a stop command. I noticed that waiting 1 sec ( the minimum possible) is allowing the shades to go up more than desired. Is there a way to make a program wait less than One sec between commands? here is what I currently use: If No Condition Then Run program 'Curt Nook DWN' (then path) Wait 15 seconds Run program 'Curt Nook UP' (then path) Wait 1 second Run Program 'Curt Nook STP' (Then Path) Else No Actions
