I have the following configured below. Whenever I press F5, the alarm immediately sounds. What am I doing wrong? (The goal is to initiate a nap time routine to make things quiet, etc).

Keypad01:
Activates Event
2001 = Automation Task 01
Illumination Event
2001 = Automation Task 01
-Single press checked
Name: Nap time

Automation -> Tasks -> 01
Name: Nap time
-Show checked

Automation -> Outputs -> 01
Name: Nap time
-Show checked

Automation -> Rules -> 10
Start Nap Time
WHENEVER Nap Time (Task 1) IS ACTIVATED
THEN TURN Nap Time (Out 1) ON FOR 2HRS, 30 MINS,RESTART TIMER IF RUNNING
THEN DISABLE NON-ALARM VOICE MESSAGES
THEN TURN Baby Camera [33(C1)]ON

When you turn on output 1 that is the siren you are turning on. You should start with output 8 but preferably for "phantom" outputs maybe start at 100.

Thanks for the quick reply, Digger. Just as a sanity check, is this the correct way to do what I am trying to accomplish or is there a simpler way?
 
One other quick question: Do I need a corresponding rule to reverse the actions of the previous rule or do they revert back when the timer expires?
 
you'll need a rule to reverse this, I recommend watching your selected output to turn off, then enable messages, and turn off camera. You may have trouble with the illumination of the light this way, I think I had to add this to the rule and turn off also on the timer expiring
