Niko Home Control is evolving into MOTIV Building Control. MOTIV is a new brand for intelligent building automation. Built on the trusted foundation of Niko Home Control, MOTIV solutions are designed to make buildings work more naturally for the people inside them. MOTIV helps professionals create smarter, more comfortable buildings. With technology that works quietly in the background. All existing Niko Home Control solutions remain fully compatible with MOTIV. Over time, the full portfolio will move to the MOTIV brand.

Using one push button for creating more than 2 different scenes

Use case

Your customer wants to create 3 different scenes controlled by the first button of a double push button (with LEDs).

Push

Scene

First push

Scene 1 = deactivate all the lighting.

Second push

Scene 2 = activate all the lighting.

Third push

Scene 3 = activate only one lamp.

Fourth push

= Scene 1

The only difference with a mood control is that you cannot select a specific scene. You have to scroll (one way) between the 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
