  1. The media scenes I am using all have a common room and are activated "based on that room" so that they join the same audio source. It all works properly on the navigator. I'm just trying to get the same master volume up/down and connect it to a button on the keypad dimmer. Would anyone at C4 know if that was possible, and if so, how to do it?
  2. CURRENT_VOLUME is volume for each speaker, and with the media scene deactivated does not impact the other speakers. You can see those variables in the list of speakers below the pause button on the screenshot. I'm looking for the variable that connects to the master volume slider at the top of the screen that effects all the speaker levels. It acts like a preamp for the source audio stream.
  3. I start a audio source in a room and then add speakers. In the navigator the screen looks like the image below. When I move the master volume slider all the levels in the various speakers change accordingly. I want to add this same functionality programatically to the up/down buttons on a keypad dimmer but can't figure out what system variable the master volume slider is changing to cause the up/down volume change on all the included speakers. Can someone help?
  4. Back to square 1. I had the wrong variable. Anyone know how best to figure out what variable the top master volume slider above the speaker is changing?
  5. Ok. I figured out which system variable controls the source volume and I think I know how to raise (or lower) its value by a fixed increment each time the up (down) arrow is pressed by moving the volume and watching for changes in a value in the variables in the IT room in the variables agent. My other questions are still open however.
  6. With regard to: 2 - Assuming there is no binding you would use CURRENT LED colour That sets the color to BLUE (assuming I select that color), but will it also turn it on?
  7. Note: I don't want to raise the speaker/room volume in the IT room - I want to raise the source slider as in the screenshot with the arrows on the keypad. Similarly, I want to know if a source is currently playing in that room.
  8. 5. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what "linked volume" is? I have several media scenes, all of which have a common room (the IT room). The IT room has no speakers but the other rooms in the scenes do. I start a source in the IT room (say TuneIn) and then activate the various media scenes (Pool Area, Kitchen Area, Lower Level, etc.) that I want to play that source "based on the IT room" in order to have those speakers play the IT room source music at preset relative volumes. I then deactivate the scenes, so that the speakers can be adjusted independently or muted individually if necessary (which I don't really do). In order to adjust the "master volume," I adjust the slider at the top of the attached screenshot for the IT room source. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "linked volume"? I want to adjust the same volume control with the up down arrows on the keypad dimmer don't I? 6. Also can you clarify for me please what I do to implement your "better way" suggestion above re reconfiguring the keypad dimmer? 7. On a related note, what room variable in the IT room will tell me rather a source there is currently playing music? In other words, rather media session has been started? Thank you!
  9. Oh...if a button is linked to a lighting scene using the connections tab and the scene is deleted, is the connection/link automatically eliminated and the button becomes an orphan and available for programming. The button I want to use has been programmed by my dealer to do something else and I want to de-link it for this purpose.
  10. Thanks Cyknight! I couple of followups, if you don't mind: 1. I think I need a STOP or ELSE between the conditionals otherwise I'll be turning the speakers on and then right back off, no? 2. Is this the command I use to set the LED: "Set Button 1 LED on the ROOM->SWITCH to BLUE when on?" Is the "when on" the proper condition for pressing the custom button for speakers on, and then I set it no color when off when pressing again pushes the speaker off custom button? 3. Do you know if I activate a media scene (which sets the speakers in the scene to preset levels), then I adjust the source volume (which changes the levels of the speakers), will the scene still read as active even though the levels don't match the initial presets? If not, I think I may need to track whether the scene is active or not with a boolean. Thoughts? 4. I would like the up and down arrows on the bottom of the keypad dimmer to adjust the source volume - how do I do that?
  11. I have 2 custom buttons. One activates a media scene consisting of a set of 4 speakers in different rooms and the other turns off the speakers in the scene (actually sets the volume to 0). What I want to do is have a single button on a 5 button keypad dimmer turn the speakers on and off by toggling programatically between the 2 custom buttons from above. When the speakers are on, I want the led on the physical keypad button to be blue, and when the speakers are off, the LED on the keypad dimmer is off. I don't have access to "connections" as I'm running HE. Can I do this with programming? If so, what is the best approach and how do I control the on/off and color of the LED on the physical button? I can keep track of whether the speakers are on or off with a boolean variable if that is the correct approach, but I'm thinking there must be a more elegant way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
  12. Ok. Is it one driver per UI button or once they add the driver, I can program it in HE to do multiple tasks? My dealer is just very busy.
