Make a separate step that controls the device.
Store and reset an action on page 43
Note the step that turns on the device and the step that turns off the device.
Later, define a Stored and Reset Action pair to control the device.
Use one large step on page 44
Use one large step that contains all the actions that occur while the device is on.
