Garage Door Program Limitation

Recommended Posts

I would like some of the lights outside to fade up when I open my garage door (after it gets dark outside). These lights may already be running on a timer and be at a very dim level. I want them to stay on full brightness for 10 mins (regardless of whether the garage door continues to remain open or closes during that time frame). I have a program that works to turn on the lights (whether I use a variable for the garage door or an insteon status), however, if the door is closed within 10 mins, the program nullifies suddenly and the "Then" portion stops running. Then, these outside lights end up staying on full brightness forever. How do I get the program to continue to stick with running the "then" portion even if the door's status changes within the 10 mins? I have attached the two programs below:

Outside Recessed Lights On - [ID 0019][Parent 000D]

If
        From    Sunset  +  5 seconds
        To      Sunrise (next day)
    And $s.GarageDoorStatus is 1
 
Then
        Set 'Outside Lights / Outside Foyer' Fade Up
        Set 'Outside Lights / Outside Garage' Fade Up
        Wait  10 minutes
        Run Program 'Recessed Lights Timer' (If)
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
