Wall switch for scene activation


rolinck

Question

I'm looking for a battery operated scene controller to activate a couple of scenes (bedtime, home / away). The scene controller must be mounted to the wall.

A example is the ZWE_05460 from duwi zwave.me wall switch. But the hc2 lacks of support of this switch.

Does anyone has some good ideas?

Christiaan, on the left you have list with all devices and available actions for them, just choose light controlling device and set it to turn on as an action.

I do not see a list where I can choose light controlling device or actions.

Could be possible that I am not looking at the right place.

Christiaan, in the scene, when you have window with LUA code, one the left there are menus "Device list" and "Variable list", from there you can choose actions and properties of devices.

Thank you I think I have got it to turn on or off.

If I want to turn on or off more lights with the switch can I do so just to put in the extra device id?

What value do I have to use to use the dimmable function?

Christiaan, to dimm a light with dimmer use this function:

X is value from 0-99, 99 is maximum brightness.

To turn on more than one device you must use two or more instructions:

Thank you.

Is it possible to use the button hold function to dimm the light?

The longer you hold the button the brighter the light will be.

And for an other button the longer you hold the button the brightness decreases?

You can do it with one button. E.g. dimmer is turned off -> hold down 1st button -> dimmers starts to brighten up -> release button -> dimmer sets brightness on which button was released -> hold down button again -> dimmer reduces brightness gradually.

Do you have the lua code for this?

Christiaan, this is normal way that FIBARO Dimmer operates.

Thanks for your help.

Got it working and for your last answer will try it later.

@Lindehoff

there are more solutions to this issue. but the basics are the same.

if parameters 1 and 2 have the value "1" then you do not have the double click function.

Lindehoff chose to set parameters 1 and 2 to a value of "2" where devicebuttons 1 and 3 are paired and 2 and 4 are also paired.

and then he had this setting for his constants.
 

 

--Const
local button1UpSingel = 11
local button1UpDubble = 31
local button1UpHold = 13
local button1UpRelease = 15

local button1DownSingel = 12
local button1DownDubble = 32
local button1DownHold = 14
local button1DownRelease = 16

local button2UpSingel = 21
local button2UpDubble = 41
local button2UpHold = 23
local button2UpRelease = 25

local button2DownSingel = 22
local button2DownDubble = 42
local button2DownHold = 24
local button2DownRelease = 26

where Button1Down is basically button 3 on the device.

 

I chose to set parameters 1 and 2 to a value of "0". there is no pairing between the buttons.

The setting of the constants is as follows:

The rest of the code is the same as in Lindehoffs example. it is cosmetic because every action of button one starts with "1" etc.

I know you are looking for a wall switch, but if you give up I would try the Nodon Octan. It works perfectly (only tested it with single click, but expect it would work fine with double and triple) and you can stick it anywhere.
