Thanks for the reply but I may not have made it clear, regarding what the button is doing, is its sending out a command and also resetting the "timer". I use that for ever button on the page, including firm buttons. I am not trying to turn on or off the screen and nor dim the screen. When the countdown reaches zero, I page jump to a black screen where I have a script the moves objects around. Basically a screen saver. I keep the remote screen on 24/7 and concerned about possible screen burn in. My way works but I have to have a hidden page with buttons where I then assign commands too, then from the main page button's, call the commands and also reset the timer, thought there might be an easier way.
thanks.
Mike
