This is pretty close to what I want to do, but not quite. I’d like to setup a Routine called something like ‘Go To Bed’ that will turn on a few Lights A, B, C (lighting the way to my bedroom), turn off Lights D, E, F (outside lights, or lights I’m no longer using when I go to bed), and then 5 minutes later Turn off Lights A, B, C (the ones I needed to get to the bedroom). If it has to change Modes to do this, it should automatically change the mode back to the prior mode after the 5 minutes. I only want to push the button once, when I am going to bed, don’t want to have to push another once I get to bed.

This could all be done with virtual switches in daisychains, you wouldn’t have to do anything with modes, but honestly it would be pretty clunky. (Most people who aren’t engineers don’t think in daisy chains.
So for you, I would just suggest going straight to Core. It will be able to do all of that and there will be people in the peer assistance thread who can help you get started.
UPDATE 8/12/2016: CoRE has moved on to Beta Milestone 2. Please kindly follow us here .
In an attempt to fill the huge void left by the withdrawal of Rule Machine, a few brave community members started their journey to creating a new rule engine to rule them all. We’ve decided to call it CoRE, an abbreviation that stands for “Community’s own Rule Engine”, courtesy of @SBDOBRESCU (his idea, really).
