Hello guys,

I want something like lighting controller. I can't use it because it messed up with my feedbacks (I have it already for other purpose). So what I'm trying to do is make a interface to select which lights a sensor should turn on and how bright. Then make couple of scenes, for example: one scene turns on all lights full brightness, second scene turns couple lights and only 10 percent brightness and third scene is all off. I need to be able to turn each configured scene individually. So basically lighting controller does everything I said wonderfully, but is there something, some kind of block that could do what I described? I can't seem to find it. Maybe someone has some kind of idea?

Maybe I'm missing something from your post but why is it you can't use the lighting controller? There's no limit on how many lighting controllers you can use in a room.

Hi,

This is driven by operating modes with the standard lighting controller.

Say you have 3 different scenes that you want to come on when motion is detected, but you want to decide specifically which scene is used by time of day or other parameter.

You create those 3 scenes. Then you must decide which operating mode each scene belongs to. If you don't want to use all pre-configured operating modes then create 1 or more new operating mode. You need other logic to make sure your operating modes are set correctly of course (like 'day', 'night', 'party', etc).

Then in the 'Automatic' tab in the lighting controller you have an entry for each scene and select the operating mode that needs to be active for that scene to come on.

Hope I explained that so you understand.
