I hope to get some time in the future to put together a video but its been hard. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ah good catch. When I wrote this tutorial I assumed setting the time to 0 was equal to an indefinite state but as you pointed out that’s not the case. I’ll have to update this to say use a long timer to make it effectively act like a switch but with the understood limit that after a max of 24 hrs it will always revert back to the default state. If you wanted an indefinite switch control you’d have to use a dedicated switch to a single 0-10v input to achieve that.

One thing to point out about the whole button mechanism is that it is volatile. The current state of the button does not persist through a reboot of the Control. So it is great for things like "turn on the lights for a while" or things like that. But don't use it for "turn off the pump or my house floods".

The coming stateful outputs will cure this.
