Detect which scene triggered

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting
#1

The light is turned on with 3 different scenes.

1st scene: movement
2nd scene: Manual
3rd scene: only when night is and the TV is on

Scene 4: Turns off the light when the TV is turned off.

How to make a script luup to scene 4 will only work when the light is triggered by scene 3?

#2

Here’s one possibility: add a virtual switch that is only turned on by scene 3. Then make scene 4 conditional on that virtual switch being true. Scene 4 should also turn off the virtual switch when it runs.

#3

You used to be able to put Lua code into individual triggers in UI5… not sure if that’s still possible in UI7?

Anyway, if so, you can set a global variable to a unique value within each trigger code and then test which it is in the scene Lua itself.

As an aside, openLuup has a variable lul_scene, available for testing within the scene code, which gives the current running scene number.
