The Dawn All Off timer will clean up the porch lights in the morning, and reset the Out Late variable to false.
I also had our Crestron programmer create some new buttons so the client can easily check to see if the Out Late function is enabled. And this is where things got weird. The feedback on this Phantom Keypad button seems to be backwards.
Does anyone know if a phantom keypad button with toggle and room logic will track a variable state so that if the variable is set to TRUE, the LED is lit, and if FALSE, the LED will be off? It seemed to be working backwards when I checked.
