problem with scene in scene and conditions = SOLVED thanks to hTiger1


Question

Posted

I have a problem with my HC-2 and 12 Fibaro roller shutters.

 

What I want is easy and logical: When I press a button on my remote, a scene will start so the blind will close when the door / window status is "safe", for that I use a door sensor.

This works great for an individual blind.

 

But I made a scene as well that closes more blinds at the same time, using the scenes that I made for every individual blind.

When I start that scene on the remote there is no check anymore about the status of the door and the blinds will close under any circomstances.

 

Somebody told met that if you run a scene from another scene the conditions of the underlying scene are not checked anymore, but that sounds not logic to me.

 

Anybody an idea?

@RobVeenisUse a global variable installed in the variable panel which changes state with your door and window states, maybe one for each room and a condition in your scene of only starting  with the correct variable value . Eg "loungeJoineryState" , 0 = closed, 1 = open.

    Thanks for your respons Jamie.

     

    I could not find a lot of information about how to work with variables but I gave it a try.

     

    First I made 2 variables in the panel (see attachment)

    then I made a scene that checks the status of the door (see attachment) and a scene "blinds garden close" to run the scene "check door garden" by a remote.

     

    If I push the button on the remote it doesn't start the scene "check door garden"

     

    Any(body) a suggestion what I am doing wrong?

     

    Thanx in advance for any reaction

    Hi
    There are some small mistakes that make it not work.
    I've had your screenshots to image processing.
    The variable must have the "right" value when you start.

     

    1. There must be only one variable.
    2. When you click on the remote control to change you "blindsgarden" to "1" and thereby trigger scene in picture 3
    3. Please checkmark 'blindsgarden in "picture 3
    4. Create Scenes like opening the blinds and change the variable to the opposite of the close scene.

    hTiger1,

     

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Your suggestion works totally fine.

     

    The only small issue left is that if I test the scene with the door open (result is the blind does't come down as I wanted) the variable gets the status 1 and I have to manually put it back to 0 otherwise the scene doesn't work anymore.

    Not a big issue as I expect it will not happen a lot or all but is there a solution for that?

     

    But again: thanxs so much for looking into my problem and solving it so quickly!!

    @RobVeenis If you google Fibaro global variables there are some good block scene examples but hTiger1 difffentily  has got you on the right track.

    It also shows you LUA examples if you want to dip you toes into that route.

    Hi
    Try experimenting a bit with this one, just create scene and let it run automatic.  

    Have not tested it.

    When you close the "door garden" set the variable to "0"

    hTiger1,

     

    Thank you so much for your help, this scene does exactly what I wanted.

     

    @ Jamie, I will certainly look further in the field of variables, LUA however is a bridge to far for me I'm afraid.

    @RobVeenis Keep reading, once you get familiar with the function calls and scene layouts it gets easier.

    Read Autofranks tutorials on this site, introduction to scenes, introduction to virtual devices etc and the many other great tutorials on this site.

    Play around with something like your blinds scene first that you already understand in your block scene. Try converting this to LUA so you can compare the two, there is a button at the bottom of your block scene to do this you may have noticed.

     Keep scenes really simple fist then add complexity making sure thru debug they work at each point. 

    Im only just beginning with LUA myself, but your progess goes expedental once you understand the basics.

    Print off cheat sheets, hard copys of tutorials, fibaro function names etc so they are in front of you when your playing around on PC
