countdown timer

Insteon used to sell a countdown timer (2464) that looks like a regular 8button keypad.
Is there anyway to create a countdown timer with scenes? I can't seem to get that to work. I tried one scene that turns stuff on and then another that turns stuff off with a delay -- that didn't seem to work.

You will need a ISY Series Controller to accomplish this end task. You could do something (simple) if you had the HUB and HL software. But, its still not the same as having a ISY Controller in place.

The results of using HouseLinc and the Hub are identical to the results of using an ISY, but HouseLinc requires that a Windows computer be powered on 27/7.
