Hi Everyone,

Christmas is getting near so have a Merry one. My question actually relates to my Christmas lights, I have scenes running Ir codes to turn things on and they make up a scene. How do I run them from a scene? Any ideas?.

Thanks in advance.

You could make a virtual switch as a trigger for SceneA, then have SceneB turn the virtual switch on.

There is an action, called RunScene, that you can call to run a scene (from within another scene’s Lua.)

See: http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_UPnP_Variables_and_Actions#HomeAutomationGateway1

Essentially you add lua code to your scene to call the other scene.

If you didn’t find it in the above link here is an example:

luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1”, “RunScene”, {SceneNum = “5”}, 0)

Where 5 is the number of the scene you are calling from within your scene.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks very much I used the multiswitch and figured we may have developed a new way. I appreciate everyone responding it was more than helpful.
