Using the Wake/Sleep agent

Use the Agents view to program this agent. The Wake/Sleep agent lets you set wake times, sleep timers, lighting, music, and so on.

Note: Wake times set in Composer Pro synchronize with the user interfaces. Likewise, wake times changed on the interfaces will synchronize with Composer. 

Example: At a user-specified time, start playing music in the Master, open the blinds, and ramp the light on over two minutes.
