I'm out of my wit. What I'd like to achieve is that after the Timer function wakes me up to the gentle sound of the radio :-) I'd like Pronto to play a short melody (in case there is en electrical failure or the reciever does not het the signal). What I've tried so far:
1) put the beeps after the Timer Function, no luck, they don't play
2) make a button (in device page) to play some beeps (yes, the button works) and make a alias of it after Timer, no luck, they don't play
3) Make a jump after the Timer has executed to a special beep page which has "Action" always to play that 1 beep button, no luck, they don't play.

Am I achieving to do something that is not possible or am I just dumbhead ?

Thanks

Create a wake up button, that will turn on the stereo and play the Pronto tune
then create a timer button that has as the start the button mentioned above

Actually I got it just working by making another Timer that only does the beep ( 1 minute later).
now it works :-)

I think what you've got wrong is that any beeps would have to be aliased from the actual timer -- you can't put commands before or after the [T] Timer command since the timer doesn't care about the button it's on, just what it references. Have it alias to a macro with the beep commands you want, and you should be OK. Remember that macros can reference macros.

Thanks Daniel. Yeah I found out that you can't use things after Timer function. The macros inside macros is something I didn't think about. But will now :-)
