Scene activation with 3x click and doorsensor as trigger

[kevin 34]

Hi,

 

In the hall way I have a scene activation active on my dimmer 2. The scene called bedtime, so when I go to bed I tripple click on the light switch and all the roller shutters will close and all the light will be turned off. But when the back door is still open the scene will not run until I close the back door. This works, but I want is slightly different and can't get it working.

 

What now happens is that when I triple click the light switch de scene will not run because the back door is open, so I walk to the back door and close it and immediately the bedtime scene starts because I already did the triple click and now the door is closed.

 

What I want is that when I triple click the light switch and the back door is open, I can close the back door and the scene does NOT start immediately. I want to do the triple click again. Because when the scene starts when I closed the back door I'm in the dark because all the lights are turned off.

 

Who knows the solution?

Can You show us the code? Is it a block or lua scene?

Set a Global Variable with the door sensor. Door open -> Globar Var = 1, Door closed -> Global Var = 0

When you tripple click check the Global Variable. If it is 0 launch the bedtime routine.

 

I would also flash a light when you tripple click and the door is open (var=1), then you know the door is open and you clicked right. This is also handy for other house members, else they think the system is malfunctioning.

It probably part of your code that waits to back door to be closed.

Just change in code that if back door is open abort the scene without any actions, that's all

Thanks for the responses.

 

@pogo See my block scene below.

 

@Joep, I tried this also. But when I close the door the variable changes to 0 and then still the scene will run.

 

@cag014, sound great. But how do I do that in my scene that it need to abort the scene without any actions? If I have to do it in LUA that is also no problem, but I'm just learning LUA.

I can't read and create block scenes, but maybe i can somehow help...

Turn off the trigger on door closing.
Copy the scene and in copy add "sleep" before turning off the lights. Change triggers in copy to run only on door.

 

OR

Just ignore copying the scene and all next changes and click switch once again after closing the door.

 

Should help, but I'm still lame in block scenes...

The block scene runs because when the door is closed the scene activation value is still true. And the “and” block returns true.

 

I think you have to write it in Lua. You can start by converting the block scene.

 

With Lua you can do mine or @cag014 approach. Cag014 is the fastest.

 

I can help you writing the scene but I don’t have time tomorrow. Then I have to write it this weekend.

By looking on your block scene, I don't understand what you mean by the scene is still runs and when you close the back door it continues???

When the scene is triggered it doesn't wait in some delay loop for back door ... it runs and stops.

I think you might defined the back door sensor as trigger of the scene also. Please remove back door from triggers.

Hope you understand what I mean, if not, could you please post the entire picture of the block scene? including the triggers header.

That was a stupid mistake from me, I'm ashamed that I didn't see that myself

I unchecked the back door and try it this evening. Already thanks for all the responses.
