It says in mcv wiki that "Note that the scene ‘off’ buttons won’t do anything. If you want to be able to turn lights off, you should create a scene with the lights to turn off. To use the 9 off buttons you will need to program the scenes as described in the GE manual on the remote directly. "
However, it the same document it goes on to state…"g. Now do the exact same steps to create a new scene to turn the table lamp OFF. Give it the appropriate names and when you select the action for the table lamp, select the OFF function. For the “What Type of Event” parameter, select the “A scene is de-activated” this time as you’re turning something OFF. Remember to associate the OFF function with the same button on the remote as the ON function. For our example, I used button one (1) again. Now the ON and OFF buttons will work to trigger the right scene event. "
These statements contradict each other …I think. I have read all the posts regarding veralite and GE remote and do not see a clear understanding of how they work together.
I don’t want to set up scenes on veralite to turn on and have to resetup scenes on remote to turn off. Home automation is about making things easier not more complex. Anyone with specific experience with the best way to set these up? Also include how it works please. I am an IT manager so I should be able to follow any guidance.
Thanks,
