    Hello all. A C-Touch question. Is it possible to activate an IR on a scene as follows? e.g.: Ramp Local Network, Lighting, 06 to 1 % over 30 seconds.
    If so, what could I be doing wrong and if not, how would I achieve the following?:
    1. TV ON (works ok)
    2. DVD ON (works ok)
    3. 30 second delay DVD PLAY
    4. 30 second delay DVD REPEAT
    The 30 second delay is to allow the DVD to load and present the menu before selecting the default menu option. The second 30 sec delay is because the DVD won?t allow the repeat function immediately.
    I have tried this as a complete scene and as a triggered by tag / level with individual scenes. At the moment the actions seem to be happening all at once therefore the DVD doesn?t see the subsequent commands because it?s not ready for them.

    If you set up a button as a timer for 30 seconds with a scene trigger group. EG Play movie.

    Scene 1. To trigger off the Play movie GA when at 100%.
    TV On to 100% Instantly
    TV On to 0% over 4 seconds
    DVD On to 100% Instantly
    DVD On to 0% over 4 seconds

    Scene 2. To trigger off the Play movie GA when at 0%.
    DVD PLAY to 100% Instantly
    DVD PLAY to 0% over 4 seconds
    DVD REPEAT to 100% Instantly
    DVD REPEAT to 0% over 4 seconds

    This will give you a 30 second delay between scenes with turning groups off after 4 seconds thus giving you the delay for the IR commands.

    Regards,

    You can not use a ramping group address to trigger a scene at the end of the ramp. See the help file entry on triggering scenes.
