2nd possiblity if you really want to use BEGINIF:

BEGINIF Front porch motion    Is Now      On

If           Daytime                     Is               False
Then      Front Porch Lights      Set             On
Then      Front Porch timer       Set              10

Else If    Daytime                     Is                True
Then     A/V - Stereo             Set               Off

ENDIF

 If          Front Porch timer          Is Now        0
 Then     Front Porch Lights        Set               Off
 Then     Event-Exit                     Set               True




Either way you go........
