I'm using a program called Girder to control my PC. What I'd like to do is create a button on the Pronto that when I press it will then wait until 4:00 AM and then disconnect my internet connection. I know how to create a timer that will execute a command at pre-defined times, but I don't want this one to do anything unless I press the button. Is this possible?

If you put the timer on the macro side, and you go into edit mode you can activate and disactivate the timer. It is a bit more complicated then pressing a button, but it would be the only way.

Also, make sure you only have one timer per button or else the "Edit" command won't work.

Andrew is right, but I would restate it as "make sure you only have the timer command on your button or else the "Edit" command won't work."

Or simply make sure the Pronto is not pointed at the IR receiver if you don't want to activate it.
