Domoticz

you can hide the nodeon buttons by placing a $ (dollar sign) infront of it
and on your remote you have 4 buttons, they are normally used to activate a scene, or a light
So what you can do, is learn one button to a scene 'On' and one to a scene 'Off'

But i think when you place a $ sign in front of your switches that you normally dont want to see, that this will already cleanup your switches tab

thanks, I did not know you could hide switches in domoticz, both search and google failed me.

but how to I "unhide" switches?

it seems the nodon remotes cannot be used in "mono" mode, and running them in scene mode it is not possible to directly control a switch by adding the remote to the z-wave group.

I did by mistake try to add a remote where I had not yet created the button devices to a scene, and that works too, there is really no need to add the as devices in the gui

I have some (rebranded versions of the) AeonLabs Minimotes. I was also struggling with making so much new scenes for the remote buttons, and not being able to reuse switches or groups.

The solution I am using is a LUA device script.

1. Add the remote buttons as switches to the Switches tab via Devices and using the green button Add Light/Switch Device.
2. On the Switches tab, add a $ before the switch name to hide it from the overview. You have to follow these steps otherwise the button won't trigger the LUA script.
3. Make a device LUA script, for example

   Code: Select all

   commandArray = {}
   if (devicechanged['$Button1'] == 'On') then
       commandArray['Group:Lampen kamer']='On'
   end
   
   if (devicechanged['$Button2'] == 'On') then
       commandArray['Group:Lampen kamer']='Off'
   end
   return commandArray
   

This way you don't have to make new scenes, but can reuse switches/groups/scenes you already have in place.

You can place the swithes in a room, there you will see the hidden switches if you need
I understand you want some sort of 'toggle' mode, yes this is possible with a blockly too, no need for a lua script as blockly is faster

Gizmocuz, the fibaro button could work the same way? What is exactly the difference between scence activation type and central scene? Thanks!
