Hi. I?m afraid the answer to my question is NO because I haven?t found anything in that area, but I might as well ask the question and get confirmation.
In my example, I have a simple scene called: [On_Movement; Dim 50% for 5 min]
My trigger for this Scene is very simple; If my [motion-sensor] is ARMED and Tripped? then this scene is executed; it will turn on the [dimmer] at 50% and also temporarily disable the [motion-sensor]. Then 5 minutes later, it will turn off the [dimmer] completely and it will re-arm the [motion-sensor]
Below is what the ADVANCED TAB of my scene looks like;
[tt]
- Delay: Immediate
1a) Dimmer SetLoadLevelTarget newLoadlevelTarget 50 (dimmer at 50% brightness)
1b) Motion sensor SetArmed newArmedValue 0 (motion-sensor bypassed)
- Delay: 5 minutes
2a) Dimmer SetLoadLevelTarget newLoadlevelTarget 0 (dimmer turned off)
2b) Motion sensor SetArmed newArmedValue 1 (motion-sensor re-armed)
[/tt]
My question is; instead of putting a STATIC number in there (like ?50? in my example at line 1a), can I use a Global variable in there. I would control my Global variable thru another Scene, it would change the value of the Global variable depending on time-of-day (what I?m trying to achieve is change the dimmer newLoadlevelTarget value depending on time of the day for example, during the evening, I want the dimmer to turn on at 75% but at night I want it to turn on at 20%)
I know I can do this thru LUA script (I?ve done it) I also did it with the Smart-Switch plugin, it worked fine? but I?m looking for other option to expand my horizons
Any other options out there?
Thanks
Claude
