Reset a light level after running a scene

[Lowdens 0]

Hi,

I am new to Fibaro and just starting to experiment with block scenes. Can someone help with the following;

 

I want to run a scene that turns on a bathroom light to say 20% when a motion sensor is triggered in the night.  (ie - so that when my children wake up in the night they can go to the bathroom with a dim light already on)   Got this part sorted.

Problem is;

What I want to also do is - after the light has been on for say 1 minute, its turns off and then resets the light back to it's previous level (without the light having to come on) so that the next person to turn the light on at the switch doesn't have to hold down the dimmer switch to bring it back up to its default of say 80%

 

Thinking it may need variables? or wondering if it can even be done at all in block scenes?  Its a bit frustrating that the "set value" function also turns the light on rather than just setting the value of the light.

 

Thanks for any help you may offer.

Seems like you will very easily have to go into LUA programming here.

I have one similar scene where the light levels are dynamic depending on the time of day. 

 

So during daytime, maxValue will be 100 and minValue will be 0. So it will act like a normal on-off switch with movement sensor with a timer to dim down again to minValue. 

During nighttime, the light should not go entirely off, so dimmed down to 5% maybe. And 15% when there is movement. So my kids are not afraid to walk down the scary hallway..

 

That can be solved by local variables

 

My code is tailored to my system with global variables, so sharing it here would be confusing I guess..

Anyway, here it is. It also has code for a manual-set lights to 50% mode activated by a lightswitch and sceneActivation. Just remove whatever you do not need.

 

PS, I guess it is poorly coded as well, but it works.
