Controlling Long Program Order of Execution

[CoolToys]

Anyone have any luck with Polisy or eisy 5.7.0 or newer controlling the order and timing for a long program?

I have a "Bedtime" program (yes the same one I want a mini remote to run and can't figure that out either), that basically shuts down the house and changes the thermostats to a cooler temperature.  I learned this trick when I ran an integration business and Lutron had a "learning mode".  The idea is if your house is being watched, it looks like someone is really there not just "poof" and the lights go off.

Right now it is automatic at 10ish with no one home (sOccupied=0) and manual when I press "Off" on a Insteon Keypad 8.  With the ISY and the USB modem, it ran pretty much in order.  So it looks like someone walking through the house shutting it down.  I now have the Eisy and the serial modem and it goes in random order each time.  To slow it down and let the program run, every third command I inserted wait commands and it still doesn't help.  It almost appears to run in reverse order.  The master bed and closet usually turn off first. 

The automatic version is the same in the Then statement.  I realize it can now be a parenthetic or, but that is how long I have had an ISY running my house.

At first look you could do most if not all of this with one command using one scene with all devices in that scene:

-Set the variables

- add all devices to one scene, including the devices that are in other scenes

- set specific behaviors for the devices in that scene

- remove all of the 'set <device> off' commands with one for that new scene

No more 'popcorn' lights, they all go of together

@paulbates, the point is exactly that they don't all go off together.  It should look like I am following my normal routine walking through the house shutting it down.  For years with the ISY it worked 99% of the time just fine.  Since going to the eisy, it goes in seeming random order.  

The whole idea is to make the house look lived in, not like it is on an automatic timer or the power just failed.
