Hi everyone,
my problem is a scene is constantly running when it see’s my switch is closed.
is there a way I can make the scene run once when the switch is triggered?
Thanks in advanced.
That’s a good question!
I have the same problem, when my motiondetection or doorcontact are armed they send a ‘off’ signal while the lights are already in ‘off’ state. (using PLEG)
my problem is a scene is constantly running when it see's my switch is closed.Scenes (and PLEG actions) normally only run when the trigger becomes true. Are you sure your trigger is not switching on and off? What is the device sending the trigger? Also make sure your scene's actions are not causing the re-trigger.

(using PLEG)You should be able to stop that by adding a [i] and LightIsOn[/i] term to the PLEG condition that triggers the off action. Set the input trigger [i]LightIsOn[/i] to point to the status of the light relay.

Alright so what I have is when my garage door is tripped close, set my alarm for the house (dsc alarm control panel) and my house will not arm unless all doors are closed in my house, i always have at least one door open while im home so opening and closing the garage door while im home shouldn’t set the alarm.
So i thought i would do a test to see if its working alright… created the scene, garage sensor tripped close, set alarm… i had a door open at the time, waited about 5 min, closed all my doors (as if im leaving) and beep, my alarm armed itself even tho i had touched the garage door yet, so to me its like it noticed the garage door status was already closed so its runs the scene constantly… i thought.
im just trying to save myself just in the odd case its really windy and i close all my doors, that the alarm doesn’t arm itself.
maybe its something im doing?? im running ui5 if that helps.
i do notice aswell for another 2 scenes im running, light on at night on a door switch and light off anytime on the same door switch, ill have both doors closed and im sure ive seen the door switch closed scene run on the web gui a few times without anything being triggered so i was thinking i must have to do something else so make it react only when tripped…
any help would be appreciated.
also the PLEG pluggin wont work for me no matter what i do, it hangs on Opening pleg_Inputs… so i have to do it manually

Your alarm system got the command to arm but would not do so because there were doors open. When the doors were closed, the alarm armed. If this is what happened, it would not be repeated - unless the garage door was opened and closed again. I think you need a little more logic to deal with this.
Are you using a delayed action in your arming scene to reset the arming command after a second or two? If not, the arming command could be asserted for ever!
You could add Luup to your arming scene to check if any doors are open and prevent the arm command being issued. You could also use a CombinationSwitch plugin to trigger your arming scene only if all doors were closed when the garage door closed trigger occurs. This would also be easy to do in a PLEG device.
...the PLEG pluggin wont work for me no matter what i do, it hangs on Opening pleg_Inputs...Did you install the Program Logic Core (PLC) plugin? Are PLC and PLEG the same version?

Did you install the Program Logic Core (PLC) plugin? Are PLC and PLEG the same version?Yes and yes, I sent a support ticket to micasaverde and they said i need to update my firmware first, but there was a reason my security company downgraded the firmware when installing it, i think they said the new firmware wasn't compatible with my camera's, i think ill upgrade it and figure out the problems after that
Will let you know what happens on both occasions. cheers 
Sorted, after making a few things automate and saving them, they all reset themselves and run the scenes so there was my problem.
Thanks for the help
