[quote=“B3rt, post:1, topic:183733”]Looking for a app which indicates an state of a scene/switch/etc…
For example, i created a scene using ping, motion sensors and luup code to detect if someone is at home or not.
If some devices are responding (such as phone, radio/tv/etc) I asume at least one person is at home and i want to show this in the vera panel
Now i use a virtual switch to set ‘@home state’ to ON if my scene detects if someone is at home and set it to OFF if my detct scene detects no one.
This works BUT…
This virtual switch is user ‘switchable’, so someone can set it manually on/off and this i do not want.
I am looking for a ‘virtual switch’ which only indicates the current state and which i can ‘poll’ from other scenes if it is true or false.
Does such a app exist, if so how is it called and where to find?[/quote]
I have something similar set up and so far it works pretty well … aside from the problem of manually changing the state.
I haven’t done this but you might want to investigate using the Variable Container. You would write the current status into one of the fields via PLEG. While it can be changed manually it requires opening the container, changing the value and then saving. It isn’t perfect but it would take more than a simple mouse click to switch it. Just a thought

Which option is that exactly, i do not know which one or how this works…[/quote]
This is the LBT (Lock Button Toggle) option introduced in MultiSwitch V1.2. See the Options section in the user guide (attached).[/quote]
