Thanks for the reply's everyone, After reading a few comments I realized that I need to be thinking ladder logic instead of procedural coding. I appreciate the tips, after I got past my resistance to the spaghetti this creates, I was able to easily implement a solution. Steve

Thanks for the reply Larry, Is there any documentation of this behavior and it's work arounds? Steve

HI all, Little problem here. If the variable $Gate_in_motion_closing changes back to 0 before the program finishes executing, for some reason, it stops the execution. I've never had an experience where the execution was effected by the state of the trigger after processing started. The state_19 var is just to understand what's happening. Can anyone give me some insight on preventing this behavior? Just for clarification, If the state of $Gate_inmotion_closing changes back to 0 while "wait 15 seconds" is still blocking, the execution will remain blocked indefinitely. Thanks for any help Steve Gate Confirm fully closed - [ID 0026][Parent 001C] If $Gate_inmotion_closing is 1 Then $State_19 = 11111 Wait 15 seconds $State_19 = 16616161 Enable Program 'Gate Set Error not fully Closed' Run Program 'Gate Set Error not fully Closed' (If) Wait 5 seconds $State_19 = 55555 Disable Program 'Gate Set Error not fully Closed' $State_19 = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I have some high current draw items that I would like to start with one button push, but would like them to start sequentially rather than simultaneously. I realize I can do this (the sequencing part) with a program but how do I get a button to run a program? Of course the button I want to push is on my phone application so I can't just check the status of the button as with a KPL or similar. To clarify one more direction I don't want a controller device and link responders because each device may be started without the need for the others.
