I have a trigger in a bathroom that starts a timer. For the past few nights at around the same time the light will come on by itself and then turn off two minutes later (not even the programmed time to wait to turn off). When I look at the logs... the best I can make it... it looks like a group clean up command is triggering the macro... is that possible and if so... how do I stop group clean up commands from doing this?

I'm curious.. When you say "(not even the programmed time to wait to turn off)" does that mean you use a WAIT in the macro to execute the off? If so why don't you use a Create Timed Event to do the same?

Hmmm, I am too new to doing this to know exactly how to create a timed event... I am currently using a wait macro... can you help walk me through it? Thanks.

Sure.. In the macro under Command check Create Timed Event. Under ID check on the macro you want to run like BATHROOM_OFF. In the last column enter the number of minutes to delay the start. Another way is to use it in a formula like ph_createtimedevent(0, " BATHROOM_OFF ", datetime(today(),time("06:40:00"))). In either case BATHROOM_OFF would execute after a specified time.
