set ControLinc button status to ON

[detrotdr]

Ok I have 2 x 2430 ControLinc's

 

on both units I want button #5 OFF to do goodnight mode. Lee suggested to take button 5 out of scene (i did). I made a program to test how they BOTH would react.

 

Program:

If

Status 'ControlLincA-5' is OFF

Or

Status 'ControlLincB-5' is OFF

Then

set 'Master Light' OFF

Else

No Action

 

Now if A presses 5 OFF.. then Master Light will go OFF

if B presses ON then Master Light will go ON (with another rule)

Later that day if A presses OFF.. nothing will happen as it's already OFF.

 

So how do i change the status of a controLinc's button or how do I go about having two ControLinc's doing a good night mode if the other controler does the good morning mode (5 ON)?

 

thank-you in advance.

Hello detrotdr,

 

I would think changing status to control would do the trick.

 

If 
Control 'ControlLincA-5' is Switched OFF 
Or 
Control 'ControlLincB-5' is Switched OFF 
Then 
set 'Master Light' OFF 
Else 
No Action

Tim, I agree..however I don't see how to change the status of a controLinc in the console... you can only see it under the IF.. but under the THEN.. there is nothing.

detrotdr,

 

Tim was suggesting you replace the IF statements in your program. You currently have:

 

If

Status 'ControlLincA-5' is OFF

Or

Status 'ControlLincB-5' is OFF

 

and Tim is suggesting you change those to read:

 

If 
Control 'ControlLincA-5' is Switched OFF 
Or 
Control 'ControlLincB-5' is Switched OFF 

 

Using the Control trigger will run the program each time you press OFF, while using Status will only run the program if the state changes from On to Off.

Ahhh.. thank-you.

 

I'm starting to really love this!
