Adding dimmers to scenes

[garethhowell]

Forgive me if I don't use the correct terms.

I like using scenes and groups to coordinate actions in response to stimuli of various sorts. However, it surprises me that I can only add binary switches to scenes and groups.

It would seem natural to be able to add thermostats, dimmer switches etc. to a scene (e.g. "Cinema mode that closes the curtains, dims (but doesn't switch off) the lights etc).

Hi.
First off, make sure you are using a scene and not a group. You add both from the same menu, but when you are editing it there is a drop down selection to choose between scene or group.

When scene is selected, when you add a light that is a simmer, you would select "on" and can also set the level " 0 to 100" and also set the colour of applicable.

If you already have the light added, select it, change the settings, then click update.

Hope that helps.

Hi
No problem there, I'm definitely using a scene.
I've just rechecked, and the only devices that appear in the drop-down list for the "Devices" section are binary on-off switches. None of the dimmer switches or thermostat set points appear in the list.
Are you saying that they appear in the list when you add a scene?

Dimmers are in their for sure. You can add them and choose the desired %.
Setpoints aren't available in scenes.

Any idea how hard would it be add set points?

I've got a similar problem: after creating a group I do see my dimmers. But, I can't change the level of any dimmer. The level-field is present, but there are no values to select.

I'm using the RFLink in combination with KAKU / COCO-devices. 2 Different type of dimmers, none of them show a dim-level.

I prefer using a "Group" insteas of a "Scene" because a Group can switch on or off the devices in it.

I have suddenly the same problem, but I am using an aeon stick with z-wave.

I am very noob with domoiticz; my setup is just a few months old. When I first installed domoticz dimmer levels were avialable, but now they are blank. They only big changes since I started and now is the update to the new version this week and I started scripting with blocky.

@Asterixenobelix: did you solve the problem?

Edit: after futher searching I found this: http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... el#p144134 I'll try this when I get home. (i'll report back)
