Maybe a silly questions but I can run a scene, but how do I stop it?

Thanks Jason

I do that with using virtual switches. Search for “virtual switch” in this forum.

For example:

So there is no way to do that in the UI5 GUI?

I can see where the virtual switch plugin would be good to manage several scenes. But I am just wondering how to turn 1 scene off?

In fact how do I even know if the scene is running? I am guessing I could do that through some terminal program…how do I do that through the GUI?

???

Scenes are merely a set of commands that are sent out. As such, a scene only “runs” for a very brief time. (Scenes can set timers to run commands later, of course. But the Timers become seperated from the scene, since the scene completes its task once all the commands are sent out.)

You can prevent a scene from running by using LUA code. LUA can also do other fancy stuff.

You can create additional scenes to “cancel” out the effects of the first scene.
