Claim 0:
1. A method of time-shifting an output parameter of one or more electrical load devices from a current time-of-day in a defined show to a user selected time-of-day in the defined show, the method comprising:
receiving a first user input that includes a request to provide a time-shifted portion of a defined show by shifting the defined show from the current time-of-day to a user selected time-of-day that differs from the current time of day;
receiving a second user input indicative of an endpoint event for the time-shifted portion of the defined show, wherein upon occurrence of the endpoint event, the output parameter of each of the one or more electrical devices returns to the output parameter corresponding to the defined show at the then current time-of-day;
determining, in response to receiving the input, a time-shifted output parameter value for each of the one or more electrical load devices, wherein the time-shifted output parameter value is determined based on the time-shifted portion of the defined show;
adjusting the output parameter of each of the one or more electrical load devices to the determined time-shifted output parameter value such that the output parameter of the electrical load device follows the time-shifted portion of the defined show until the occurrence of the endpoint event; and
returning the output parameter value of each of the one or more electrical load devices to the output parameter value corresponding to the defined show at the then current time of day responsive to occurrence of the endpoint event.
