detrotdr Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 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.
TJF1960 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 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
detrotdr Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 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.
fitzpatri8 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 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.
detrotdr Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Ahhh.. thank-you. I'm starting to really love this!
