"Stair switch" how to write a scene


Question

Posted

Hello.

Please help me write a scene for two wall switch`s.

I`m using two NEO Coolcam light switches. It is impossible to connect them like a "stair switch" so i have to use scene (Associations won't work too).

The goal is to use switches like "stair switches" - turn on with one and turn off with second.

I`m useing HCL.

I think two is more easy. 
 

It also depends on the switch type, momentary or toggle. But first let’s see how it works.

    Hard to say for me if it's momentary or toggle.

    I would say toggle.

     

     

    as for those scenes - they don't work properly. 

    Sometimes you have to push the switch two times and

    there is problem using two switches - sometimes they don't take oposite states.

    Hello again.
    I didn't manage to set it working.
    What i did - i bought aeotec wallmote.
    As one of the switches is in the main entrance i will put there Aeotec as main switch to controle other switches, scenes, alarm and so one. 

     

    But another problem occurred - association works fine with neo coolcam wall switch but only when the switch is turned on and off from wallmote.

    When light is turned on/off from neo wall switch i have to tap wallmote two times to turn on/turn off light.
    What can couse this problem?

    Do not use direct association, create a scene for wallmote

    Why a delay? zwave is fast so it won't take seconds.

    What do you mean witch: i have to use 2 buttons?

    I have a delay ~ 2 seconds in scenes. No such delay in association.
    Look in this topic, i cant write a scene with two neo coolcam switches, i don't think i will can write scene for wallmont and neo switch.

     

     

    extra question:
    In neo switches which settings will be the best for Polling time interval:
    - excluded from pooling
    - global pooling queue
    - periodic intervals (how often?).

    Perhaps a stupid question but if you use the neo switch, does the status update reach the hcl (is the status in hcl correct if you use the neo)

    Status ON or OFF when switch is manuall pressed, from app or aeotec is alwayes changed i HCL.

    All neo switches are associated in gropu 1 with HCL.
