Actuating Nexa switches directly
Posted: Monday 15 May 2017 23:08
Forgive me for asking a "maybe obvious question", but I have scanned the Wiki and the forums without finding the answer to this.
I have an RX443 and a number of Nexa Lightswitches and Wall transmitters to control lighting in my house. Setting up Domoticz for "normal use" has worked well, but I am running into a problem of understanding the system when I try to automate to achieve more advanced control.
To avoid confusion, here is the notation I use here below:
Wall transmitters are the wall switches that have replaced mechanical wired switches. They transmit 433MHz signals to actuate Switches.
Lightswitches are the switch- or dimmermodules that are hidden in wall boxes, connected to the electrical wiring, actuated by signals coming either from the Transmitters or from Domoticz/RX443 unit.
Some of my Wall transmitters control more than one Lightswitch. Some Lightswitches are controlled by more than one Wall transmitter.
When I use the "Learn Light/Switch", and then actuate a Wall transmitter, it looks like I teach Domoticz to mimic that Wall transmitter: The resulting "Domoticz switch" becomes a replacement for that Wall transmitter.
What I have not yet managed to find out yet is how I directly from Domoticz, based on an event (e.g. Sunrise) actuate selected Lightswitches directly, not just mimic a selection of Wall transmitters.
Help!
