ZME_WALLC-S: How to start a scene (UI7)?

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control
1

After several days trying I give up. I tried much settings, but it seems I am unable to start a scene with the ZME_WALLC-S.
The default should be to select a scene. But no matter what scene I select (or even a mode), nothing happens.
In fact, I can’t manage to start anything. Battery has already gone below 50%, that often I am playing with it.

I asked the shop where I bought it, but they said I should use it with a association. Don’t know if that works, but I want it to control a scene.
I need to place it on a central place to start scenes: goto bed, all lights off, etc.

So if someone could help me out, give the correct parameters…that would be very great. Thank you very much.

Thanks. Nice site, will try that and come back later.

Ok tried again…no luck. I really don’t understand why I am unable to start a scene.

So far I have set this:
parameter : value
1 : 0
2 : 0
11 : 5
12 : 5
13 : 5
14 : 5

Made a scene to turn on a light, configured this to button 1. Every points out that indeed it is configured to button 1.
Also synced again, I see that as the battery percentage changes. But …the scene is NOT started.

If I tail the log file, I even don’t see something is coming in…

Has anybody running the wallc under Vera Edge?

Hi, I have a working solution to have this WallC-S controller work in an acceptable way.

I read a lot and credits go out to some of you (Sorry I don’t know whom anymore).

I Use PLEG (what else?) and have it configured as follows:
As everyone also descibees only the “LastSceneID” is changed. And that is what you should use as Property in PLEG. Then you must use 2 conditions per button (one for ON and one for OFF).
Like this:
Properties
Name Device Name Device Variable Value Last Change Previous Change
LastScene Schakelaar WallContr[785] LastSceneID[urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:SceneController1] 21 2016-10-21 22:20:02.641 2016-10-21 20:14:42.970
Comments: LastSceneID

As you can see I pressed button 2 on last time (21 above)

Conditions
Name Options Logic Expression Value Last True (or Last Change) Last False (or Previous Change)
Button1On LastScene == 11 false 2016-10-21 20:14:42.971 2016-10-21 22:20:02.643
Button1Off LastScene == 12 false 2016-10-14 20:35:07.206 2016-10-14 20:35:07.803
Button2On LastScene == 21 true 2016-10-21 22:20:02.644 2016-10-21 20:14:10.929
Button2Off LastScene == 22 false 0 0
Button3On LastScene == 31 false 2016-10-21 20:14:10.931 2016-10-21 20:14:43.076
Button3Off LastScene == 32 false 0 0
Button4On LastScene == 41 false 2016-10-14 20:27:22.289 2016-10-14 20:27:23.150
Button4Off LastScene == 42 false 0 0

In the required Scene (Via VEra’s interface) use 2 triggers per Scene (and button) from the device (the PLEG device) that you created above logics in:
Like:

PLEG WallC-Woonkamer has satisfied condition: Button2On

PLEG WallC-Woonkamer has satisfied condition: Button2Off

Hello Sender,
I am also struggling with this topic. 4 buttons on my WallC-S controller that I want to have set up with PLEG.

I read your post and it sound more logical than I have it set up now. :slight_smile: But what I want to achieve is the following:
Button 2 (right top button) > 1 click > run scene 39 (lights on)
Button 2 (right top button) > double click > run scene 40 (lights off)

Can’t get it to work with PLEG.
My parameter for button 2 is set to 4 by the way (so 12 = 4 (send scenes)). Not sure if this is correct.

Hope you can help me out?

Thanks.

If someone has successfully got the WallC-S device to trigger scene(s), can you please post some step by step instructions?
I am running Firmware 1.7.3500 and most of the instructions are related to older firmwares.
I am able to include the Switch, it is recognized, it offers the possibility to select 4 scenes but nothing works for me. Neither if I create a Trigger baes on the buttons nor if i use the LUA code snippets.
My Settings are Variable 1/2: = 0 , Variables 11 - 14: 4.

Thanks a lot in advance
Florian

I am also struggling with this damn device!!

I have Sunscreens I want to control
So: double click button 1: All open
Double click button 2: All Close

Further, Press and hold close and open manually.

Seems soo hard…

I stumbled upon this topic. Additional information in attachments.

PLEG is very simple, no actions are needed there!
The “devices” you can use in all the Vera scnes you want (in the pleg devices list)

To be honest: it is not that stable this way. 9 out of 10 times it works. 1 out of 10 times I have to press “a button” multiple times until the scene fires.
