My apologies as this is probably a very simple thing to do but I've not found an easy way of doing this.

I have a number of 'push on' switches, five in total, lets call them 'Switch 1', 'Switch 2' etc. What I want to do is create a dummy selector switch with five settings such that if I press one of the options on it, then the corresponding Switch 1 etc. is triggered.

I'm sure it's trivially easy to do using Lua or (even better) dzVents but I've not been able to work out how to read the status change of the selector switch (let's call that 'Main Switch') and based on that, trigger the matching push-on switch.

Any hints or advise would be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance

I thin you won't need to create a selector that act a pushbutton that act something else

let's have the selector act streight the action you need....
then... you probably want (to simulate a pushbutton) that once pressed the selector will return to off position.

Well, I do have few scenarios like this...
example: SkyQ decoder, my selector uses both commands and shortcuts

: skyQSelector.jpg (44.22 KiB) Viewed 1783 times

the configuration of the switch will trigger an action (in my case a bash/python script)

: skyQSelectorCfg.jpg (147.68 KiB) Viewed 1783 times

and to be able to move back the selector to 0 I use a dzScript

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true,
	on = { devices = {'skyQ'}, 
	     },
	 
	execute = function(dz, devVol)
           devVol.switchOff().afterSec(2).checkFirst().silent()
    end
}

hope this would help
ciao
