Program Help

[hum099]

I'm trying to have a light come on to 30%, wait 5 min. and shut the light off when I shut down entertainment system but only between sunset and sunrise the next day. I have created a scene to turn a light on to 30%. I also created a program to turn on the scene between sunset and sunrise, I activate the program through roomie remote when I shut down the entertainment system. It does work but because this is a program it also automatically runs the program at sunset and the light comes on for 5 minutes and shuts off. Does anyone know of another way to accomplish this so the light doesn't automatically come on at sunset.

Right click on the program title and do a "Copy to clipboard". Then paste your program here using the <> so we can analyse it.

 

Usually two programs are needed with the second, called one, containing time filters, disabled from triggers.

Since you are calling your program directly, simply disable the program.  This will prevent the time triggers from operating on their own and they will only be evaluated when you call it directly with Roomie.  A disabled program still runs when directly called, it simply does not self-trigger.

 

Hope this helps.
