Unfortunately, there's no way to trigger a timer action yet, so you can't have a "sleep" facility.

I'm experimenting with making the Pronto beep at, say, 2:55am to tell me that it's going to turn everything off in 5 mintutes, so if I want to avoid that I've got to block the IR signal. There are a few niggles with this though:

- if I'm still up and watching tv, I don't always hear the Pronto
- if I'm in bed and all equipment is off I hear the Pronto (small house)
- The macro also jumps back to my home page, as it assumes everything has been placed in it's off status. Therefore, if this is not the case I've to get back to where I was (which involves blocking more IR codes when switching to devices).

Like I say, a timer interrupt/cancel/trigger feature would be of use here, methinks.
