Pulse on all lights off

[Chris Pitman]

The central lighting now has API did it not used to have a pulse option output for all lights off.

Whats the simplest way to get a pulse generated each time all lights on the central lighting block are off ? ( I have some other lighting controllers etc outside lights which are not ticked so can ignore these)

I'm not seeing that - this is the info for the central block in my config.   QL_off gives a pulse when an 'all off is sent to the block'.  

On a slightly related note,  any suggestions for how to get around a change between Lighting block v1 and v2?  I have a storeroom accessed from my utility room, I don't want both lights to go on together but when the lights in the utility are switched off I want the storeroom to go off.    I only have one mood in each.  

With the V1 block the 2C output used to give a pulse when the mood changed from 'on' to off.  (since theres only one mood a single click just alternates between on and off in the room) 

The V2 block only does that on a double click, or it seems to a specific pulse on the off input.   Which is not the same thing.  

(I'm slightly puzzled by the 2C and 3C outputs, and the QLOff above.  If you've already generated a double or triple click that you're feeding in this doesn't give any additional functionally, only perhaps tidies up the appearace of the config.  This is just a passthrough?

But this config would probably get you what you want 

- I have an info block that tells me if any lights are on 

- and if it's dark outside and all lights are off I assume everyone is asleep and the doorbell doesn't sound (used to get drunks pushing the intercom light on their way home, this way they don't wake us up)
