Sheeeeyuuuuut. I had been cooking that concept in my head (how to write a program that would dim 1% every x seconds). Now I don't have to! (Between this and the tutorial at http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/5410-triggers-and-conditions-and-ifs-oh-my, I have a strong feeling my setup and skills are going to increase at an alarming rate.) And thank you, LeeG, StusViews, Teken, and larryllix. A most impressive response.

Updates - of the 3 outletlincs, 1 is working as expected. 1 is not. 1 is unknown. That, at least, might indicate it's quite probably the outletlincs themselves, and not the ISY994 or the programming. I'll do some more sleuthing and get back to you. BTW - Stu, so the slowest a full "off" can go is 8 minutes? Any way around that? I'd love it to be about 30 minutes with a completely gradual off. Again, thanks for all the help (not just here, but on all the forums I've been reading). Christopher

It steps down without the ramp rate - going from (for example) 80% to 60% in a blink. Dbl-checked - nothing set to more than 8.0 minutes.

Excellent! I get a response from both StusViews and LeeG - makes my day. The program is 10. Evening - [iD 001A][Parent 0010] If On Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 9:14:00PM Then Set Scene 'Evening Halogen Scenes / Halogens / 10. Evening 10' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Not quite sure how to paste a screenshot, LeeG, but the ramp rate for the device in the scene is set to 8 mins. just where you spec'd. On Level is 10% (the next program, set exactly as the first, goes to 0%). Thanks, guys. Christopher

Hello all - Newbie post (at least to these forums), please advise if inappropriate to this forum. Objective is to imitate sunrise/sunset for animals. I had setup Houselinc scenes to control the light loads (which were plugged in to 2472D v .40) to a maximum ramp rate of 8 minutes. This was working quite well, but I decided to move to the ISY994i Pro (ZW/IR) as Houselinc software was no longer supported. I have not been able to figure out how to get the OutletLinc to turn the lights on using the slow ramp rate, even though the device is set to a ramp rate of 8 minutes, and in the scene, the Outletlinc is set to 8 minutes. Note - there is no controller for the scene - it is only triggered by the ISY994i. Any suggestions? Much appreciated, CSharron
