Hi gurus,

I have a 2 buttons linked to some lights outside my garage. All works as expected.

I have an x-10 keychain remote that sends a command to powerhome to turn on the lights. A motion sensor does the same thing. It triggers a macro to turn on the light, wait 5 minutes, then turn it off. This works fine, too.

What I'd like to do is: if a user turns on or off the light manually (at either switch) I kill the waiting macro. I'm having a hard time differentiating between a user hitting the switch, or a second press of the keypad, etc. Is there a way to set up a trigger to listen for local control only?

OK -- figures after I post I'd make some progress :)

I believe the problem was using a Insteon Direct Trigger -- looks like using the Insteon Group In trigger works, but in searching the forum, looks like I'd need to set up a trigger on each switch controlling the main/loaded switch.

I can deal with this :)
