I have set up a screen with scene triggers, for example Away, Home, garden lights on, garden lights off and others. I have set colours to give me a status of the scene, so garden light on is green when the lights are on, the garden lights off is red when they are off. If i switch them off the garden lights on goes blue, and the garden lights off is red, so i know what state they are in. So far, so good.
But on some of my scenes it does not work. In the settings i have the same colours and configuration as in the garden lights scenes, but arm house and disarm house are always green. Away and Home i have set both to green when on, so i can see if the house is set to away or home. My problem is they are both green ! So i cannot see which scene has been triggered last. Hope that makes sense what i am trying to explain
What do these scene control? Scenes will only show active if they control a device or devices and they are in their proper state that you configured in the scene. Scenes just run and finish. So there technically is no state.

I think that probably explains it. My away button arms a few door/window sensors, switches a virtual switch (in a multi switch) and is used in my HVAC PLEG, so does not switch anything ‘real’ on or off.
So if i wanted to have just the home or away lit green (which is what i really want) i need to switch a device on or off with it i guess. Obviously a virtual switch is not enough.
Is there a way around that ?
