Trigger scene manually with IF

[savage 0]

I have a scene to close my roller shutters, but only if the window is not open. But somehow the IF-statement is never checked when manually triggering a scene.

See the example below, the scene is still executed, even though ZeroConstant is 0.

All I can think off is to create duplicate scenes. One to set a variable, and the other that is triggered with that variable, but also checks if the window is closed. But I hope there is a simpler way...

It must have been asked before, but I'm not able to find the question...

Did you tick the zeroconstant box at the top of the block logic you shown us?

Do you mean in the triggering variables just above the blocks? That one is indeed checked.

Btw. I have a HCL, so LUA is not possible...

[MalvinYNJ 4]

This scene has two triggering condition.

One is when you zeroconstant becomes 1000,

Another condition is when you manually click run.

This is what I see from lua code itself after converting from the block scene logic.

MalvinYNJ is right when you hit Run button manually, block scene is always triggered, despite conditions.

That is indeed too bad for the startSource["type"] == "other"

I now tried to create 2 scenes, in pseudo code:

** SCENE 1 ** (to start manually)

** SCENE 2 **

But now every time I close the window the roller shutter is closed (also if I check the Window = safe). But I only want this to happen if the window is closed AND I manually start the scene.

Is this possible in another way on the HCL?

.

You need to have LUA to put an IF into manually started part of code (by clicking "Run") .

That's too bad, I didn't expect this was one of the complex logic that I would be missing in the HCL.

There is no way to check on the state in the block design instead of the even (close window)? If that's possible it should still work with a variable

You can do this with the HCL, but as you stated it will require 2 scenes.

One will force the variable to the desired value and this will be your command to the system to close the blinds.

The execution will depend on the 2nd scene (which can be "not shown in interfaces") that checks the window status and runs the commands based on the variable from the first scene being the trigger and the window status conditions being met.

Depending on how your setup works, you will need to reset the variable for the first scene as part of one of the scenes above, or based around another trigger (I.e blind is opened OR window is closed etc)

Your pseudo code scene above is essentially correct, but it would only be operating the way you have said if the Window sensor was selected as the trigger and your variable was currently on the value you force by running Scene 1
