lighting question

[JJ7]

I've got (I think) a basic question about lighting with Composer HE. In my theater room I have a projector and a TV. I use the C4 Theater Display Selector driver to switch between them and it works pretty well. My issue is just that I'd like some default lighting when I first turn on the TV. So I have programmed it via:

* when TV turns on, activate lighting scene "my scene"

This works, but sometimes I manually change the lighting afterwards. But then if I just switch sources, without turning the TV off or on again, the lighting goes back to "my scene" rather than staying the way it was. So I don't quite understand why this program executes every time I change sources, as the condition I have set is "TV, Power On." Any thoughts on how to resolve this so that the commands are really just executed once– when the TV is turned on?

Thanks...

When you run the lighting commands > place before it a bunch of IF light x = 70% and light y = 55% then (nothing) ELSE turn the lights on...

just add  "if lights off" as a condition prior.

Thanks, I’ll try these out.

This.
But if there are multiple lights in the room, the programming can be much tidier with a single command;
In which case you are better using the toggle scene and using if 'my scene - toggle' is active then activate 'my scene'.
(Assuming your toggle scene is all the lights off in the room)

Thanks, all. This seems to be working now

You could also add a room control driver and trigger off when you enter watch mode instead of source selection so if you make a change mid session then select another source it is ignored
