Thankyou so much guys for your time.
It works a treat now.
What else I would like to do is if it's  between 12am and 6am turn off that group that handles that event, but thats probably for another post.

If it is only this one command that you want to stop between midnight and 6, you should be able to use a logic block within the command like so:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.2.1-->
<command id="291" name="test -- stop macro between midnight and 6:00" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="70" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <if ifBlockDisabled="False" ifNot="False">
    <ifType>(A)Contains(B)</ifType>
    <ifParams>24,01,02,03,04,05,&amp;&amp;{DtCustom.HH}</ifParams>
    <then>
      <action>
        <cmdType>VC.StopMacro</cmdType>
        <params />
        <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
      </action>
    </then>
    <else />
  </if>
  <if ifBlockDisabled="False" ifNot="False">
    <ifType>(A)&lt;(B)</ifType>
    <ifParams>{3}&amp;&amp;4</ifParams>
    <then>
      <action>
        <cmdType>OSD.ShowText</cmdType>
        <params>
          <param>{3}</param>
        </params>
        <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
      </action>
    </then>
    <else>
      <action>
        <cmdType>OSD.ShowText</cmdType>
        <params>
          <param>{2}</param>
        </params>
        <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
      </action>
    </else>
  </if>
  <event>vera.Light.5.*</event>
</command>

I much prefer the flexibility of creating your own scenes with VC
