@DragonVera which device property are you using in PLEG? sl_SceneActivated?

#22

Yes

Name Device Name Device Variable Last Change Value
SceneActivated Upstairs Hallway Lights sl_SceneActivated 2013-11-09 18:07:26.689 0
LastSceneID Upstairs Hallway Lights LastSceneID 2013-11-09 18:07:26.731 26
LastSceneTime Upstairs Hallway Lights LastSceneTime 2013-11-09 18:07:26.774 1383980846

Strangely though, I’ve just tried to do exactly the same setup with another fibaro dimmer (with same firmware Version 3,3,52,2,2 ), and on this dimmer I can’t seem to find the device variables sl_SceneActivated, LastSceneID or LastSceneTime when I look for them in the PLEG. ???

I think the scene variables only get created after you have set variable 41 to 1 and restarted Vera.
And what is the significance of scenes 24 and 26?
These are explained in the instruction sheet for FGD211 - under Parameter 41. They indicate which switch and action initiated the scene:

14 = S1 double-click
15 = S1 triple-click
16 = S1 single click
24 = S2 double-click
25 = S2 triple-click
26 = S2 single click

In my case the variables got created after I set Parameter 41 to 1, then did a double click on the switch, and then reloaded the UI in the browser.

nice ! got it working with fibaro universal sensor thnx to filifjonkan instructions for PLEG … 2 scene buttons now ^^

#26

Is it possible to use either button, on a dimmer with 2.2 firmware, as a scene controller, without PLEG?

Yes, it is, thanks to @RexBeckett http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,18679.msg217315.html#msg217315

Here’s how an example of how to run a scene when a button (s1) is double-clicked, on 2 different Fibaro modules.

Note parameter 15 (the one that when double-clicked gives you 100% brightness) has to be set to the default of “1”, or the double click variable doesn’t seem to show up.

Startup Lua:

[code]-- Set up variable-watch for device 306 (Kitchen Downlights)
luup.variable_watch(“doChange306”,“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”,306)

– Set up variable-watch for device 308 (Middle Deck Light)
luup.variable_watch(“doChange308”,“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”,308)

– Process variable-watch callback for device 306. Run scene 161
function doChange306()
luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = 161}, 0)
end
– Process variable-watch callback for device 308. Run scene 160
function doChange308()
luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = 160}, 0)
end[/code]

Scene (160) Luup:

[code]local DoubleClick = luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”, 308)

if (DoubleClick== “14”)
then return true
else return false

end[/code]

I’ve decided to use the sl_SceneActivated variable, instead of the LastSceneID, because if the same button sequence is pressed twice in a row, then the variable doesn’t change and the scene won’t run.

sl_SceneActivated seems to be changed briefly after every button press, which is what I want as a trigger.

I’m also trying to get the condition for the scene running, (double-clicking), included into the start-up Lua, because if I want to run scene manually from my phone, it will fail to do, so unless the last button press was a double click.

I’ve inserted a delay of one second because the scene was running sometimes when it shouldn’t have been, so I can only assume LastSceneID wasn’t being updated quick enough.

I hope this helps somebody, and if anyone can give me tips on a better way to achieve this, or something I’m doing wrong etc. please don’t hesitate, because I’m a complete novice just messing around.

[code]-- Set up variable-watch for device 308 (Any button press on Middle Deck Light)
luup.variable_watch(“ButtonPressed308delay”,“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “sl_SceneActivated”,308)

– Process variable-watch callback for device 308. Run function after 1 second to give LastSceneID a chance to update.
function ButtonPressed308delay()
luup.call_delay(“ButtonPressed308”, 1)
end

– Process variable-watch callback for device 308. Run scene 160, if button double-clicked (ID:14)
function ButtonPressed308()
if (luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”, 308) == “14”) then
luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = 160}, 0)
end
end[/code]

And here’s how to incorporate more than 1 module and look out for triple clicks on S1:

[code]-- Set up variable-watch for device 306 (Any button press on Kitchen Downlights)
luup.variable_watch(“ButtonPressed306delay”,“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “sl_SceneActivated”,306)

– Set up variable-watch for device 308 (Any button press on Middle Deck Light)
luup.variable_watch(“ButtonPressed308delay”,“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “sl_SceneActivated”,308)

– Process variable-watch callback for device 306. Run function after 1 second to give LastSceneID a chance to update.
function ButtonPressed306delay()
luup.call_delay(“ButtonPressed306”, 1)
end

– Process variable-watch callback for device 306. Run scene 161, if button double-clicked (ID:14), or if triple clicked (ID:15), run scene 178
function ButtonPressed306()
if (luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”, 306) == “14”) then
luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = 161}, 0)

elseif (luup.variable_get("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1", "LastSceneID", 306) == "15") then
	luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "RunScene", {SceneNum = 178}, 0)
	end
end

– Process variable-watch callback for device 308. Run function after 1 second to give LastSceneID a chance to update.
function ButtonPressed308delay()
luup.call_delay(“ButtonPressed308”, 1)
end

– Process variable-watch callback for device 308. Run scene 160, if button double-clicked (ID:14)
function ButtonPressed308()
if (luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1”, “LastSceneID”, 308) == “14”) then
luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = 160}, 0)
end
end[/code]
