RatOS Heat Soak Macro Help

I am looking to create a simple warm up macro that I can run at the start of the day to get my printer warmed up to help with the thermal expansion issues with the beacon sensor. I would like it to home everything, preheat bed to 60 and hotend to 220. Is that as simple as this:

[gcode_macro Pre-Heat]

gcode:
  G28
  SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE HEATER=extruder TARGET=210
  SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=60

[gcode_macro Pre-Heat]

gcode:
  G28
  SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE HEATER=extruder TARGET=210
  SET_HEATER_TEMPERATURE HEATER=heater_bed TARGET=60

or is it more complex? I have never created / edited a macro before. Thanks!

I guess I should also have a macro sets the temps back to 0 as well.

There are bed/heat soak macros and threads about this in here and #beacon-contact , I'd do a few searches and see what you can find.

Hm I have seen the addition of time variables to the beacon macros but I'm not looking quite for that as I don't want to add time to the beginning of every print. Just hoping for a "heat up" macro to run at the start of the day to get things going as once it is hot there is no need to wait between prints as long as it does not cool off.
