Thanks Jim,
One thing I found is I was trying this on a different computer and using a saved file instead of the computer I started the programming on. Apparently there are some files/devices that don't get saved on the program file. It work when I tried it on the correct pb, but still having problems getting the buttons to work correctly. have to spend some time on it. The on button worked on the widget but the off button didn't. Go figure.

Update: Found things work fine with a discrete button, but not with the home control widgets for Basic switches. But the sliders work fine! Go figure!!
