Mutually Exclusive Buttons (KPL)

[CJVann]

When a member of an ISY created Mutually Exclusive group is turned On, I would like to see the ISY set the status of the remaining members of the group to "Off". Currently ISY leaves the status of all previously pressed buttons "On", which prevents programs from triggering properly because there's no way to know which Mutually Exclusive button is "On".

 

I know we can write programs to do this manually, but it seems the ISY should be able to handle doing this automatically since it's already a defined group in the ISY. If one of the members turns on, set the status of the others "Off". Does this sound doable?

CJVann,

 

It is doable in ISY but not very ideal mostly because it will require major changes (currently, we store the mutex relationship in a file which is never parsed, used, examined or otherwise except when you request for it in the GUI). So, to be 100% honest, I am going to add this to our requirements but it will have a very low priority:

1. There exists a workaround

2. It's a major change

 

With kind regards,

Michel
