Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well today? I guess I have decided to post a bunch of times today I am like a posting maniac today! Anyways I have a question and Thank GOD there is a lot more smater people in here than me, so here it goes. Has anyone of you done with an XP-8 and a RK3, K4, T3V or T4 a sleep button that counts down the time like lets say you select 60 minutes sleep button then it starts counting down minutes and seconds until it gets to 0 and everything shuts off? I always appreciate all your help and input in this and every matter you guys help me with. If anyones has done it please show me how and if you can send me a file with it done. Thank you and GOD bless you all.

Create your "Sleep" macro containing all the power off commands for your equipment on the XP8. Then on your RK3, K4, T3V create a button you'd like to use as the Sleep function. Create a macro for the button, choose system macro "Sleep" in the bottom right hand corner there is a selection "Run this macro" you have two choices. Immediately or you can specify a time.

Enter 60 minutes. you have a sleep function.

I know how to do a sleep button I was just wondering if anyone has done a sleep button with a countdown timer that you could see on the remote/keypad counting down. I have seen it on Crestron, has anyone done it on RTI. Thanks anyway for the info JJW 2009, GOD bless you all.

You can not have this type of custom function without a pre-written driver. Until RTI provides a way for us to write custom drivers, this idea is not possible.

Create a button with x amount of layers.
Each layer would say " x minutes left"
Each layer would be visible only when x flag is set

On the button your macro would look like this:

set flag 60 60 minutes
time delay 1 minute
clear flag 60 60 minutes
set flag 59 59 minutes
time delay 1 minute
clear flag 59 59 minutes
set flag 58 58 minutes
time delay 1 minute
clear flag 58 58 minutes
set flag 57 57 minutes
time delay 1 minute

and so on.

Good idea, you could minimize the layers by showing the time in larger increments. I would make those steps smaller as the time gets shorter. Then add a last minute abort button if the user wants to cancel the power off macro.

Example:
60 mins
45
30
20
15
10
5
3
2
"abort" button visible
1

Thank you all for the help, has any of you have it done? If you do can you send the file please. Thank you and GOD bless you all.
