ILoveC4 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We have started using media scenes the last few months at my house, and we absolutely love them. The one problem we have though is in deactivating them. Again, this Sunday, we had a party at the house to watch a basketball game, and we used a media scene. When we got done and everybody left, we hit room off and went about our business. Well, that night I sat down to watch some TV and bam - all the TV's in the common areas turned on because the media scene was still active.I have several ideas bouncing around as far as what to do about this, but I was curious as to what other people are doing.I was thinking of just deactivating the scene when any of the rooms turned off, of doing something where when the media scene is active and turned off, it will create an announcement telling you that unless you push "x" button in the next 10 seconds the media scene will be deactivated. Deactivating the media scenes every morning at 2:00 AM is an idea I have as well.Anyways, back to my question...what are you guys doing?D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lippavisual Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thats basically it. Make a conditional based on Room Powr and deactivate based on that. You could also link the power off command in the media scene to all the rooms, then when rooms turn off, if media scene is active, deactivate media scene.

Matt Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 This is how I am doing mine:When room powers off -turn x room off -delay 500ms -deactivate media sceneSchedule event 2am -turn off room -delay 500ms -deactivate media sceneThen when I want to activate the media sceneWhen audio selection changes ?If media scene is deactivated -activate media sceneI also have two rooms that I don’t want always activated, so I created a custom button.Boolean variable – true/falseToggle the variable from the button pressFrom the variable. ?If true Activate media Scene ?If false Turn room off delay 500ms deactivate media scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have no idea what a "media scene" is suppose to accomplish... Is it that you want several panels on at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Media scenes basically link rooms together. Any changes made to any room change all the rooms in that media scene. Its great for parties for volume, music tracks, video sources, etc. When I say changes I mean in audio or video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have no idea what a "media scene" is suppose to accomplish... Is it that you want several panels on at the same time?A Media Scene allows simpler multi-zone audio control. Media Scenes link source, volume, and room-off commands. With Media Scenes, you can have one or more rooms in a system playing the same music at the same volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
