hi all

my domticz is getting more cpmplicated by the week. ordering and testing all kind of chinese stuff :)

Now i have multiple scenes controlling the same lamp.

for example
- i have a scene for dinner party - setting the lights in the kitchen at 20% and running a music list on my kodi system.
- i also have a scene with a motion dector the turns the light in the kitchen to 80% when i walk to the kitchen.

Now i dont want my dinner party disrubted by getting the lights to 80% when someone moves.

Is there a priority sytem so i can set dinner party to a higher a proirty then the motion detection? when both get activated?

I have a selector switch that governs the behavior of my motion sensors. When I activate a scene, the scene also includes this switch and the switch acts as a sort of variable to keep track of what should be activated by the sensors next time they are triggered (essentially setting the current scene as priority). The added benefit of this is that the selector switch has an 'off' setting that allows me to mess about with my lights via hue etc and not have domoticz override me. The reason I use the selector rather than variables is its easier to add the selectors into the scenes .
