tims Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi Guys, I must be overlooking something simple. In programming a Custom lighting scene to a keypad dimmer I cant seem to get the lights to "toggle" with a single tap or a press on.... My assumption was that you create the scene then the duplicate it to a toggle then use the toggle scene on a single tap to get it to go off and on.. Apparently not. Here is how I am doing this now: set keypad button event to Lamps (which is my button name) on single tap or pressed either one activate scene living room lamps (toggle) What am I missing here? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1amund Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If by duplicate you mean manually create an "off" version of the scene, no. In essence; Create your scene with light levels and set each load to track then up top click Create Default button. That will create the (toggle) scene with loads to zero. Set your button properties in the driver or in programming for the LED color state of on or off scene. Bind the button press to the scene toggle button link...not the scene (toggle) button link. That's about it. I'm not logged into the KB but I believe 1228 gives a general example of this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1amund Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If you follow the steps I've outlined you will see it in your connections bottom portion with your advanced lighting scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that worked great! Thanks or the info. As you can likely tell I am new to C4 but that worked great. I just did the bindings as you mentioned to the connections toggle and it works great. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burowyako Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I currently have some loads on my system setup on a scheduler. At a certain time of the day, I have the lights turn on, and then I have them turn off at a different time of the day. To do this, I created one lighting scene to turn the lights on and another scene to turn the same lights off. In the Scheduler under the Programming tab, I trigger the different scenes for the different times of the day. Where I don't have any physical buttons on the house tied to either of the scenes, would it make sense to have a single scene configured with a toggle setting rather than what I currently have configured? As long as I get the same result, I guess I'm curious what the benefit of toggling a scene is. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tims Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I am no expert here as I am learning but the toggle function basically does not exist for scenes other than in bindings. You would have to program like this:if scene x is active then deactivate stop if scene X is inactive then activate This just allows you to set a scene configured how you like then allows you to call either one function or both creating the toggle via custom buttons unless your using the binding toggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy.trochez Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I actually didn't read any of the posts in this thread (So, I'm assuming), but a toggle scene can be used in a keypad button. The first press will activate a scene and the second press will activate a toggle scene, which can be an Off scene or any other scene. This can be done even if one of the scenes is bound to the button. No programming required. If one of the scenes is already bound to the button, create the toggle scene in the Advanced Lighting agent. Next, click on the scene that is bound to the button; in "Toggle Scene" select the scene you want to use as a toggle scene. Done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 or you can get really tricky with it. i use three scenes in some settings that will have a on mode a off mode and a night mode pressing the on button will get on press the off button when lights are on will get you off pressing the off again when the lights are off will get you a night mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
