I've got several basic questions to make sure I set this up right from the beginning.
First, I've created a scene that simply turns on a dimmer and linked it to the non-load button of a kpl. I'd like to create a brightening/dimming routine that runs throughout the night before it finally turns off. Is this best accomplished with multiple scenes and programs scheduled throughout the night, or can I do something like the following program with a single scene?
Sunset Bar Lights - [ID 0004][Parent 0001]
If From
Sunset
To 9:00:00PM (same day)
Then In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 0.1 Sec (Ramp
Rate) In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 12% (On
Level) Set Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' On Wait 30
minutes In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 30.0 Sec (Ramp
Rate) In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 30% (On
Level) Wait 30
minutes In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 30.0 Sec (Ramp
Rate) In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 50% (On
Level) Wait 30
minutes In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 30.0 Sec (Ramp
Rate) In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 70% (On
Level) Wait 30
minutes In Scene 'Outdoor Bar
Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 30.0 Sec (Ramp

Lights' Set 'Outdoor Bar' 20% (On Level) Else - No

I tried the above program and the lights turned on at 12% and stayed that way. There were no subsequent changes. I didn't wait to see if they eventually turned off or not; just assumed I had something amiss.
Second question, my programs are in a "My Programs" folder, I assume created by default because I didn't create it. The folder itself appears to have a rule that says, "
My Programs - [ID 0001][Parent 0000]
Folder Conditions for 'My Programs'
If Time is
1:05:00PM Then Allow the programs in this folder to
run.
Does this mean that the programs within will only run at precisely 1:05 PM? I know this isn't the case because they run seemingly whenever the program is scheduled. But I don't know what this rule is actually saying.
Thanks for your help and I apologize if the answers are clearly posted somewhere. I'm new and am still in that overwhelmed stage. Hope you can all remember what that was like.
