How do I run scenes within a scene?

I set up an “All Off” scene that I want to trigger with other scenes. How do I do this?

Thanks.

Put this in the LUUP tab of the master scene to have it run scene number 5

luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "RunScene", {SceneNum = "5"}, 0)

Kick ass. This should be easier, but there it is.

…or you can simply define a global function in Startup Lua which can be called by any scene. No need to make the code you want to share a scene itself.

It’s Monday, I’m struggling to understand your meaning here. Are you referring to an aliasing function like:

function ExecScene (SceneNum) luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "RunScene", {SceneNum = "SceneNum"}, 0) end

Then use ExecScene(5) wherever you need to? Or are you meaning something else?

#6

Almost. You just need to leave off the quotes around the SceneNum parameter…

function ExecScene (SceneNum)
    luup.call_action("urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1", "RunScene", {SceneNum = SceneNum}, 0)
end

Edit: …although it wouldn’t have to call a scene, it could just contain the code that was in the scene.

That’s pretty brilliant… wish I had thought about it sooner. Already created all my scenes.
