DeviceGroup
« on: August 23, 2012, 06:53:10 pm »
Hey,

I'm trying to configure my lightbuttons to act as a kind of 'away' / 'home' status.
For this, i add several buttons in a Device group. And with advanced Events, i'm trying to configure this now.
But when i select the DeviceGroup, and try to switch on a light. It doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong with the Devicegroup?

In the log, i see the buttons coming in. So this part is working.

I am not sure that DeviceGroups are actually working.

Ahh, ok. Can explain a lot. :$

Is there another way i can create an event that listen to several input buttons?
I was trying with a nesting group, but this didn't give me the wanted result.

ps i'm a bit confused about the selection buttons AND - NOT that gives me the result AND - OR...  :o

The issue here is that we don't have anything that emits a DeviceGroup as an event parameter. This could be added to the Lighting Plugin to facilitate this.
