Hey Guys,
Im playing with my loxone and what I am trying to acomplish is prooving difficult.

Amongst other things (But just for this scenario)
2 X PIR (Loxone air)
24V lights upstairs landing and downstairs on same circuit
LED tape on stairs

What I am trying to do is if upstairs pir is set off then the lights come on on the current scene, and vice versa for the downstairs pir.

The scenes I have is bright, and night mode - which we turn on at night..

I just cannot get this working correctly - anyone got some advice for me please ?

Hi,
if I understand your requirements clearly you are looking to choose which scene is triggered by motion. 
You say you turn on night scene so must therefore set something. 

With the lighting controller you can feed into MS the scene you want to come on. This you can change with a timer or by logic. 

Hope this help - shout if not.
Cheers David

Is what you want that in the daytime either PIR will trigger the bright scene, but at night either PIR should trigger the night scene?

You don't have to use the Lighting controller block and the movement input to control lights - if you want to do something unusual sometimes you need to just work from logic blocks or  modify the outputs of a lighting controller with extra logic.  

I have all of my 4 floors of hall lights on a single lighting controller. When you turn the lights on from a switch the 'dim' scene activates with the lights at 25%.  The movement detectors modify the analogue output from the controller when they detect movement so the lights on that floor become brighter.  

My example attached - The blocks are Analogue Multiplexer, Switch off delay,   

When movement is detected, and a lighting scene is active then the multiplexer outputs the 'bright' value set as a constant.   The basement lights (not shown) don't have the 'and' block so they work whether or not a scene is active.
