Using one push button for creating more than 2 different scenes

Procedure

Creating the controls and the devices

1. Create a double push button with LEDs (PB1).

2. Create the virtual devices (VIRT1 to VIRT3):

   • VIRT1: virtual device controlled by PB1

   • VIRT2 and VIRT3: to make the 3 combinations for the 3 scenes

3. Create the lighting (LAMP1 and LAMP2).

Creating the routine

Create a custom routine (ROUT1) to activate VIRT1 with the first button of PB1. Use the following behaviour:

• Control that initiates the routine: button 1 of the push button (PB1).

• Devices that are part of the routine: VIRT1

  • Start behaviour: VIRT1: Value = true, Delay = 0 s

  • Stop behaviour: leave empty

Creating the conditions

Create 3 conditions which at each button press (PB1) check the programmed scene and switch to the next scene.

1. Create a condition (

   COND1

   ) for pushing PB1 the first time (VIRT1). Use the following logic:

   • IF (VIRT1: Value = true) and (VIRT2: Value  =  false) and (VIRT3: Value  = false)

   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  = false)

   • ELSE leave empty

2. Create a condition (

   COND2

   ) for pushing PB1 for the second time (VIRT2). Use the following logic:

   • IF  (VIRT1: Value  =  true) and (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)

   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  = true)

   • ELSE leave empty

3. Create a condition (

   COND3

   ) for pushing PB1 for the third time. Use the following logic:

   • IF (VIRT1: Value  =  true) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  = true)

   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =false)

   • ELSE leave empty

Create 3 conditions for the scenes using VIRT2 and VIRT3.

1. Create a condition (

   COND4

   ) for deactivating all the lighting. Use the following logic:

   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)

   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = off) and (LAMP2: Value  = off)

   • ELSE leave empty

2. Create a condition (

   COND5

   ) for activating all the lighting. Use the following logic:

   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)

   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = on) and (LAMP2: Value  = on)

   • ELSE leave empty

3. Create a condition (

   COND6

   ) for activating all the lighting. Use the following logic:

   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =  true)

   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = off) and (LAMP2: Value  = on)

   • ELSE leave empty
