Is there a way to determine the source of button press on a QuickApp ?

[RohitNz 7]

What I normally do is to have a QuickApp for a particular function.  For example Blinds_Controller, Gate_Controller or Bathroom_Controller.  Where all the business logic is inside the QA.    Then other scenes or users or Alexa just press the buttons in the QA to execute something.

 

A few of the Logic examples in the Blinds Controller 

1. Will not open a blind in the Movie Room if someone is watching a movie.
2. Will not close the blinds at night if there is a storm forecast, in case we lose power and cant activate them next morning
3. Will not close blinds on Doors or Windows if they are open/ajar

 

This way, I don't have to replicate the logic everywhere.  BTW, there is an override button for the user, so they can bypass the restrictions if so desired.

 

For some of the logic, it would be nice to know if a user pressed the button or a scene.  I see this in the logs, but there is nothing there. 

1. Can I determine if a user or a scene pressed a button
2. What is the "values":[null] in the event.
