I’m using a Fibaro dual relay (but just one of the outputs) to control a sliding gate that has the following logic in the control sequence.
First pulse (I use 2 sec) opens the gate - no problem there!
after a timeout in the gate logic, the gate automatically closes (about a minute) - no problem there either.
BUT
If you wish the gate to remain open indefinitely, you send a second pulse to start the closing sequence (before the auto-close feature occurs) and immediately after you send a further pulse which stops the gate and it remains in that state.
So I tried writing a scene which sends a pulse, delay 2secs (gate starts to open), wait 30 secs (gate is now open), send another pulse (gate starts to close) and after 1 sec, send a further pulse to stop it.
Trouble is that Vera UI7 (and 5) sorts the delays in increasing order and not the sequence desired.
I tried again using 2 separate scenes. One to open the gate - no problem and another to hold it open (again no problem), but how do I chain the two together so that I can open the gate and hold it open with one command?
Is this a job for PLEG or the PLT? If so, how please?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
