How to Interrupt Timer and Flashing KPL Button

First, thanks to all who have posted programs and solutions.  I have learned a lot.

 

I have two 8 button KPLs that control several lighting circuits in my kitchen.  I have configured KPL button G as "All Off Delayed."  When pressed, the G button LED on the KPLs will flash once a second and start the timer.  After a period of time, a set of kitchen lights will flash warning occupants the lights are about to go out.  After more time, the lights turn off.  I have successfully been able to interrupt the timing feature and G button flash by turning on kitchen lights in the set, but I have not been able to consistently interrupt the timer and G button flash when I press the G button. I am confident this is due to one of the conditions of the "IF" statement and the state of the button's LED; when it's on and I press the button it will interrupt the timing feature.  Conversely, when the LED is off and I press the button it will not.  I have tried variables without success.  I have also tried the change KPL G to Toggle ON, but the logic doesn't work on that either.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

If
        (
             Control 'Kit NE KPL G' is switched On
          Or Control 'Kit S KPL G' is switched On

Try using something like:

 

If

Control 'Kit NE KPL G' is switched FAST Off

or

Control 'Kit NE KPL G' is switched FAST ON

 

Then

   Stop program

Thank you.  Using the additional program worked.  

 

Too bad Insteon does not have a LED button flash option for the KPL's.
