Posted this on C4 forums and no response (which is why I avoid the c4 forum)

Scenario- Mailbox integrated into C4 with contact sensor. I want to blink a few lights to let me know there is mail. If the light is on lets say "comfort" scene and I had it activate the "mailbox" scene how can i be sure when the mailbox scene is done it will revert back to the "comfort" scene or whatever scene the light(s) are currently a part of (Off/All on/comfort/work/task/etc etc)

TIA!

Add a "few lights" that blink as the mailbox scene, but that don't turn off or change any other scene. A couple of blue LEDs might do the trick. Something then turns those off when you do whatever you do to retrieve the mail. Meanwhile, the comfort scene, or whatever, simply stays on.

This could use a "back" button, which I haven't seen since the Marantz RC5200.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Set a variable BEFORE triggering the light to blink. Your macro would be something like:

set variable to level of light
turn light on
delay
turn light off
delay
turn light on
delay
turn light off
delay
set light to level of variable
