Leviton Grouping
Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2008 11:57 pm
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
