Using Control Functions in programs

I'm unable to get any of the Control functions to properly trigger a program. I'm attempting to use a ToggleLinc Dimmer (2466DW). Here is what I'm currently trying:

If
       Control 'H.Room / H.Light' is switched Fast Off

Then
       Set 'H.Room / H.Light' 50%
       Wait  10 minutes 
       Set 'H.Room / H.Light' 25%
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Set 'H.Room / H.Light' Off

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


From the Event Viewer, I see the Fast Off notification going to the ToggleLinc, however I never notice my program fire. I've tried just standard On or Off as well as Fast On. Status events seem to work, but I want to capture a Fast Off. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

This may be the issue. If Control is looking at commands coming "from" the device, not a Fast Off going "to" the device.

I guess that was the problem. I was too lazy to walk upstairs and across the house so I was trying to test by sending a Fast Off from the ISY. Didn't occur to me that it only worked when initiated at the device itself. Is there any way to capture a remotely activated Fast Off for use in this program, or is my best option to just manually run the "Then" block instead of triggering the Fast Off

If the objective is to test the Then clause it is easiest to right click the Program name selecting Run Then. There is nothing that will simulate a Fast Off from the device.
