API request - Group Toggle

[Madgeni]

Hi there -

can I request for the ability to Toggle a scene, as well as issue direct On/Off by the API?

Thanks

thanks for nice information

+1 for this. I am trying to create a button (physical) that will turn on and off a group and I cant do it. If my lights are on in the group i can issue the command toggle and it turns them off but if i issue it again it doesn't do anything

I'd like to be able to toggle a group of lights. So I want to be able to do one of the following:

Code: Select all

commandArray['Group:SomeGroup'] = "Toggle"

or

Code: Select all

if(otherdevices['Group:SomeGroup'] == "On") then
	commandArray['Group:SomeGroup'] = "Off"
elseif (otherdevices['Group:SomeGroup'] == "Off") then
	commandArray['Group:SomeGroup'] = "On"
end

Both do no work, or am I missing something?

Groups get and keep their value (on or off) if you switch them
but as soon as you switch a device in that group it turns to MIXED

Example:
Group:LIGHTS include
- Dinner Light
- Living Light
- Kitchen Light

if I switch the group ON..
Group State: ON
- Dinner Light ON
- Living Light ON
- Kitchen Light ON

if I switch the Dinner Light
Group State: MIXED
- Dinner Light OFF
- Living Light ON
- Kitchen Light ON

...If Group Toggle would exist:
Group State: MIXED
- Dinner Light ON
- Living Light OFF
- Kitchen Light OFF

in terms of usage and usability... this is almost a Scenario than a group toggle....
...does this make sense?
