Ramp Rate is "random" in programs

[CJVann]

I have a LampLinc programmed for a 2-Sec. Ramp Rate in the ISY.

I have a Scene with a 2-Minute Ramp Rate for that same LampLinc.

 

My motion sensor controls two programs. Motion-On turns my light on to 50% at the 2-sec ramp rate. Motion-Off turns light off by a scene ramp rate of 2-minutes. The problem is that sometimes the light turns on at the 2-minute ramp rate (Not what I want), and sometimes at the 2-second ramp rate (what I want). I think it's happening when the light is not yet at the end of it's 2-minute-off ramp and receives an ON command... then it turns on using the Scene ramp rate, rather than the LampLinc's ramp rate. Is this normal? I guess I should use a second Scene to "force" the LampLinc to always use a 2-second On time? Thanks...

If
       Status  'Sensors / Motion Sensor #1' is On

Then
       Set 'Lighting / Living Room Lamp' 50%

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

If
       Status  'Sensors / Motion Sensor #1' is Off

Then
       Set Scene 'Scenes / Living Room Lamp - 2 Min Fade' Off

Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Try using a Scene with a 2 second ramp rate to turn the LampLinc On.

Thanks Lee- that's what I've done & it works, I just didn't think I would have to do that. I thought it would use the device's ramp rate.
