Control-IT Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Audio zone stays on all the time if paused so room always shows on unless powered off via app. If I put in programming for when digital media gets "pause" command to wait 5 minutes and shut off. This shuts the zone off but will shut the room down anytime pause command is received. How can I make it so that if I hit pause then there is some sort of conditional where if I press play again within 5 minutes it wont shut off the room? I setup a timer and I got the programming started by starting the time when the pause command is received but I don't know how to do the rest?

If anything happens in that room that you’d want to stop the timer from running, then stop the timer when those actions happen. Remember too that with timers, you almost always “restart” instead of “start”. Restart sets it back to the default time while start picks up wherever you left off.

It is the specifics of those next commands that I don't know how to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control-IT Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 If I press play within a few minutes then do nothing until I press pause again. Then reset timer and if no play pressed...room off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Then when you press play, pause the timer. Then when you press pause, reset the timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
