Scenes checking the status of a device before switching
Posted: Wednesday 07 October 2015 20:00
I am using 4 switches to set if I am Home, Away, Sleeping or on Holiday.
I control the status of these switches with 4 scenes. So if I activate the scene for Home then I turn the Home switch on and turn the Away, Sleeping and Holiday switch off.
But I am also using On and Off actions for these switches and with this solution there are always some off scripts executed although the switch was already off.
So my question is if it is possible to add a feature in a Scene that a device is only turned On or Off when it is not On or Off at that moment? I can image that this is not always handy, but in some situations it is.
I know this is possible with LUA, but I am wondering if this is possible using scenes and more users think this is usefull.
That would mean an extra checkbox in the Devices part something like below.
