Turn off other buttons with Mutually Exclusive ???

[DevonSprings]

Hi All,

 

I have a scenario where My Kitchen Scene has 5 controllers. My "Dining" Scene though is only on the "closest to the dining room table"

 

When I go from Kitchen to Dining, I want to turn the keypad light off on the rest of the controllers.

 

Should I add a link to the Kitchen Lights which are mostly the "A" button on the 6 Button KPL, in the Dining program which will definitely work. Or should I do this some other way.

 

Any thoughts on how the best i99PRO way to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Of course what would be cool, is when a button is mutually exclusive, is a controller of a scene, it unpushes the button first, and then pushes the second button.

Hello DevonSprings,

 

I do hope that I got your scenario correctly. Unfortunately Mutex buttons only work in the local switch and not on any other linked devices thereto. So, I think the best way would be to put all the buttons that you want turned of in a scene as responders (say, dining status scene) and then use a program to turn off this scene when you turn on your dining scene.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

 

Thanks I will do that. It would be nice as several other people have stated when a mutex button shuts off a controller, all other controllers in the same scenerio shut off.

 

Of course compared to the PITA this was to program in HouseLinc, ISY is a dream.

 

Maybe all the ISY needs to do is do a Wizard that when you select a Mutex Group, Do you want to create a program(s) to shut off all of the other controller lights? Y,N.

 

Thanks for a great product, once I got it stablized it has been super duper.

Hi Devon,

 

That's actually not a bad idea. It will surely save a lot of development effort trying to "imply" the state of other buttons. I will add this as a product request (priority low). Thanks so very much!
