Can someone help me with PLEG to detect a fast ON/OFF of a switch to then toggle another device switch state.

Many thanks

Problem Solved so I thought i’d share it.

My problem is that I have two lamps that are only switchable via the Micasa app for a remote. I wanted to make one of the light switches also double as a way to switch on the two lamps as well as the current function of switching on ceiling and accent lighting. They have a fibaro relay.

Here’s what I did:

Device Trigger

LoftLightOn When ever the ceiling lights are switched on

Condition

LampTrigger LoftLightOn; !LoftLightOn<1

Action

LampTrigger LampOne Toggle State
LampTwo ToggleState

The result of the PLEG code is that when the ceiling light switch LoftLightOn is switched on and then off in less than 1 second the lamps power state is toggled between on and off. Its working perfectly for me.

When I toggle the state the lamps are either 100% or 0%

How can I toggle the state between 0% and 40%

Many thanks

Don’t know how much it would slow response but you could probably have 2 conditions/actions, where each looks at the lamp on/off status as well as the lamp trigger and have the actions as SetLoadLevelTarget = 40 and 0.

Thanks.

I tried adding a Property

GetStatus LampOne

Then I thought based on this being a 1 or 0 or would know if the toggle is turn the Lamps on or off

I changed the condiiton logic from this

LampTrigger LoftLightOn; !LoftLightOn<1

to this

LampTrigger GetStatus==1 and (LoftLightOn; !LoftLightOn<1)

This worked in that if LampOne was already on then the toggle action would switch it on.

However, when I switched LampOne off using the app with a single press, the amp went off then two seconds later came on again. Im not sure what that happens

Any help?

A status report might help us understand the problem.

How do I generate a status report?

In the PLEG edit screen…Editor Option > Status Report.

When the window pops up, try to save it as a PDF. Easier to read. Attached is an example.
