Changing the STATUS without activating

[mzn50]

Hello.. I have a remote link switch that its function is to turn on or off lights depending on time of day.. like ALL OFF or ALL ON

As default.. I have them reset to off at Sunrise

 

I have a scene that turns on certain lights in the evening..

 

here is the issue.. when I go to bed.. i hit the remote link button.. but I need to turn it on (as it is still set to OFF )

is there a way to change the STATUS of the remote link switch without executing its set command ?

 

this way all I need to do is hit off and all lights will tun off ..

 

hope Im clear .. ?

 

thx !!

The next command issued by a Mini-Remote button cannot be changed with a Program call. First the device has no command to accomplish that. Second battery devices go to sleep (turn Off RF circuitry) so the ISY cannot communicate with it (which is why it has no command to change Status).

I am doing exactly the same thing with my RL2. The trick is to not directly control the lights/scene(s) with the RL2 button but instead have a program react to the button presses.

 

Here are some examples. The first two Toggles my ceiling light whenever I press the RL2-A button:

 

If 
  Control MBR_RL2-A is Switched On
  or
  Control MBR_RL2-A is Switched Off


Then
  Run Program MBR_CeilingToggle (If Path)

Else

 

Program: MBR_CeilingToggle (Disabled)

If 
  Status MBR Ceiling Light is Off

Then
  Set Scene MBR Ceiling Light On

Else
  Set Scene MBR Ceiling Light Off

 

 

This next one uses RL2-E to turn off all downstairs lighting:

 

If 
  Control MBR_RL2-E is Switched On
  or
  Control MBR_RL2-E is Switched Off


Then
  Set Scene All_Downstairs Off

Else
