Weird behaviour - lighting block, T5 inputs

[Simon Still]

I'm using the T5 inputs in my kitchen and Lounge.  

Presses within 30 seconds sequence through the moods.  After 30 seconds have passed it triggers the numbered t mood.

That's working fine for the physical  switches on the wall, but it's not for my 'watch tv' command.  The rooms are open plan, when I sit down to watch tv I usually want to close the blinds, switch on a particular mood in the two rooms.   There are two Loxone inputs - a virtual input in the app, and an input from the Loxone IR (with the command coming from my Logitech harmony remote).

The first press works fine, but if pressed later it sequences to the next mood in each room regardless of how much time has passed.  I was having this issue before and had to recreate the Kitchen lighting block but I missed connecting it to my central lighting block (so it wasn't responding to an 'all lights off' sequence I have).  I think it broke when I ticked the box in the central lighting block again.   That's the only related change I can think I made.

What does the Lighting Controller  Moods dialog box look like? (Double click the LC block)

I'm wondering if the T5/3 TV mood is configured as a Mix in or non cyclic (no +) mood.   Or anything else different to the the T5/1 Everyday mood

I've created a bit more config to test it further with a  VI linked to each input.  

 Both moods have the same set up 

The two inputs do not show the same behaviour.  T5/1 correctly resets after 30 seconds and activates mood 1 directly. T5/3 initially selects mood 3, but subsequent activations just select next mood. 

Next step is to delete the two lighting controllers and recreate them.

Clutching at straws, but a few more things I'd look at:

- what's the pulse duration (On param) of the Multi-Cick that feeds the input? e.g. I've had issue before where the default 1s pulse from edge detection is (sometime) long enough to trigger the 1s "long press" detection on a T5 input

- Try recording the moods in the mood edit dialog. T5/3 is the "odd one out" by being last in the list and maybe that's relevant

But +1 definitely create a second simple Lighting Controller, feed the same memory flag into that and confirm if it has the same issue. This should give a clue if it's an issue in the way the pulse is being generated, or in that specific LC.

Also, try making another multi click (or other logic block) fed from a new VI, and feed into a different T5 input on the same LC and see if that recreates it.

Good luck!

I added the multi click to give it a standard length pulse (it was fed via the IR link before and I wondered if I'd 'taught' that a long pulse'.  Testing I've just been using VI's to each input and they're behaving differently.  

In the second room the mood isn't the last in the list and the same issue.

Recreated the lighting blocks and same issue (but I did create a preset so I didn't have to reenter everything, that *could* have brought the issue with it, though there aren't any configuration settings that *should* affect this behaviour. 

Creating a completely separate block just to test the input behaviour?  Yes, maybe some other time.  It's a minor little convenience this, I've really got more important things to be doing right now!  I'll come back to it again in future I think.

It never quite worked and I had an idea on how to fix it (can't even remember what that was now) and have spent some hours now playing with it! Loxone is a bit of an addiction at times.
