Leviton Grouping

[noob2HA]

Hello,

Forgive me if this is a repost of an old topic. I did search, but always leave the posibility that I used the wrong key words.

Here is my situation. I have several (a whole house worth) switches and dimmers that support grouping commands. I have set the dim level, and assigned the group using an Ocelot. I have designed 2 scenes:

Scene 1: C2=50%, C3=50%, D2=Off, D3-Off
Scene 2: D1=ON, D2=ON, D6=100%, C2=100%, C3=100%

Basically, I want to be able to send 'Scene1 --turn on' or 'Scene2 --turn on' and have all of the associated lights snap to their preset levels. I can do this by creating a task and trigering the task to send the individual commands, but this leads to D3 remaining on while C2 ramps up etc. I have been able to sucessfully have the lights snap to the preset values using the CMAX provided by ADI for the Ocelot, so I know that the functionality is there. I just dont know how to access it using HB

I suspect that it has to do with X10 Extended Addressing, or some other type of presetting code. The modules are all made by ACT and from what I understand are high end x10's. They don't have code wheels, I have to put them into 'program mode' then send addresses and such to set them.


Thanks for the help
John

If the switches all support Leviton dimming, then you should be able to just create X10 Lamp Module Devices for each of the switches. This Device has a Leviton Dim Level Property that you can set to the dim level you want. This would allow you to create two tasks that each set the appropriate Dim Level or Power State Property. You don't have to set both. If the Power State is Off and you set the Leviton Dim level Property, it should change the Power State Property to On.

The Leviton Dimming does use extended x10 commands (as you mentioned). There X10 Lamp Module is really the only way to send these messages.
