Logic lock
Posted: Thursday 01 September 2016 8:45
Hi...
Is it possible to add a logic lock to some switches?
I'll try to explain better my intention:
I have all my blinds connected, and have a scenario (named SCN_living) that open or close them based on temp, lux and movement.
In case it rains I have a device blocky script (name: WTF_ItRains) that close all blinds, BUT I'm supposed to stop all other blinds interaction until rain quits, otherwise the SCN_living will still try to adjust them.
Instead of add a condition for the switch RAIN in the SCN_living scenario, I would like to add a switchlock to the WTF_ItRains.
The intention is simple: in case of future expansions and installations, you would need to modify ALL script in order to consider new devices and variables.
Actually I have a boolean userVariable named BlindsLock set to 0 or 1 and evaluate it in the SCN_Living as first condition, but I would consdier a system lock would be much better and accurate (you do not need to remeber to evaluate variables
)
ciao

P.S.
of course the phisical interaction in Zwave device cannot be intercepted.. unless there is a way to change the device configuration to exclude keys from a script
