tims Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hey guys, I know you can answer some of this. I just want to be sure I am following best practices>> So I have tons of keypads in a house I am working on but I seem to be running into issues and I just want to be sure I am doing this right: Here is the typical setup with the Music setup i see to have two issues: 1: after a couple of weeks of no use the music buttons have to be reprogrammed by going into the room and choosing pandora again and the music station. The code is exactly the same but just need reprogrammed to work again. Not sure whats up with this... 2:, How should the LED setup be configure on this? The setup shown above is what I thought would work but does not turn the color on the botton or does music have to be set to keypad then I program the colors accordingly? OFF BUTTON ISSUES: Last issue is OFF. It would seem that programming the OFF button would be as simple as telling the room to go off which would then automatically turn all lights and music sessions off in the room but as of now I have to tell the room on the off command to turn off each light. Am I missing a global room binding of some sort? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 1 no idea. That works fine for m me. 2. You have to put button color programminh in your code. The connection is bound and music is not bound but programmed. 3 room off is a media command. Lighting off is different. Create an advanced lighting scene of all off and trigger that. That said making music a toggle on off and having off for lights only is how I would do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone says to avoid media scenes.. Thanks for your help Not perfectly shown in composer but like this. On press (and possibly single tap for day-to-day Usability) If room on > turn room off > set button color blue > stop If room off > source Pandora station ( you know this bit) > set volume to default normal volume for room >Unmute > set button colour green > STOP You could also double tap and triple tap to additional favourite Pandora stations. I'm guessing on the up and down you have volume ramp and stop ramp on press and release. Also think about a double tap could be skip on the up and mute on the down Also for completeness you may want to move the keypad button light rules to under the event room on / off So if the music is turned on from an app not the keypad the keypad indicator blue green follows along.

VINCELdUB Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hey guys sorry. The "real world" has a way of reminding you that we are only human. Will get to a guide with screenshots tomorrow and will post in my guide thread. SMHarman is correct about setting the led control to the room state. G'night all. Happy Automating!
