Sequence Options for multiple night imaging

Hello all, looking for best practices here. My sequence will end up running for multiple nights. This includes a sequence of Lights and Flats chained together alternatively (3 nights of Ha with flats for each night etc.). And I have not figured out a good way to do this.

Ideally, I would have start and end times for each light type (right now I see that I can only set this on the target level but not an event level?). This way each light frame goes till just before dawn. At this point it will switch to the next event which is a flat. I would like to park the scope before the flats and pause the sequence after flats. But I notice that I can't have any light events after an event which has park as one of it's options.

Am I missing something? If not, would these be good features for a future release? What would be even more awesome, is if SGP could also suggest start and end times based on the target (assuming of course that we have entered the RA/DEC for the event). Of course the start and end times will shift forward from night to night, but this is easily adjusted manually on a per event basis if we had the option to set start and end on each event.

Also is it possible to control power switches like the Belkin Wemo from within SGP? Or the data loggers webswitch?
