2 Hour lighting only if lights are off or during a time range?

[amblix]

I'm trying to see if this scenario can happen with the omnipro

Only during certain hours, or only if a certain lighting group is off (UPB) turn on said lighting group than 2 hours later turn off.
by pressing a button on a 6 button controller or changing a zone state

At the same time if the button is pressed and the lights are already on, nothing happens and the timer does not start

Also if that same button is pressed again (toggle) nothing happens

Basically Im trying to prevent the lights from turning off if this button is pressed during business hours but if someone comes in at night, presses the button, the lights will turn on but only for two hours.

This can be done with a SA UMI http://www.simply-automated.com/documents/...uide_070510.pdf

and some sort of UPB timer such as This. http://www.simply-automated.com/documents/...heet_060328.pdf

Don't know if the Omni Pro can do it. maybe replace the timer?

You should be able to do that with FLAG in OmniPro. So instead of controlling the fixture directly, have it to set the flag, and based on the value of the flag, turn the light on/off.

htsource is right. Using UPStart, remove any load from the button. Then in PC Access, set it up so that if that button is pressed and the flag you write to track the load is off, the light turns on for 2 hours. It's all dependent on programming, Not on hardware.
