If you have a magnetic sensor on the guest's door, or a motion sensor in the hall, could you set that so if the guest wakes up in the middle of the night and opens the door or whatever, to go downstairs, it would unset the alarm and turn the hall lights on?

Gee... thanks... you just gave me a whole new problem to be concerned about The logic I described above is based on people staying in bed once they've hit the night button, but I guess I do need to consider the possibility that people will go back downstairs after they've been in bed. Especially because our new guest will be a new mom, so I imagine she'll be going down at times when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night.

Why not have a 2nd button on the palm pad be the up again button... so she goes to bed and pushes the bed button, and if she gets up and presses the X button and HS only resets her flag, and turns on her bedroom light at 50% and then the hall way light ect.... you could do the same for each room in the series....

That's not a bad idea at all. I'm trying to keep it pretty simple for people... if I want them to do anything I've gotta make sure they can remember to do it But I think that keeps it pretty easy and it if turns on lights and such for them it's going to make it even easier for them to remember to use it.

Thanks,

I am planning on having a good night and good morning button next to my bed soon (tomorrow maybe). This will send a signal to my HA app to do similar things.
