    I was reading Introduction_to_logic_Engine_training_manual and it states that
    the Black and White touch screen does not support If / Then / Else logic.

    Is this correct for C-Touch Monochrome MK-II

    Thanks

    The B&W MKII comes in two forms... One without logic and one with (the one with supports Pascal logic like that found in the PAC). This includes if/then/else. Download the latest version of PICED (if you don't already have it) and create a project for the B&W MKII logic engine version and play.

    Cheers

    If its 12 months old, its the Mk 1.

    mk2 only just released in last few weeks.

    So theres no way doing anything like IF-THEN with my MK-1.

    I was thinking that when I get my PIR sensor I could do something like switch on light if movement detected and time later than 17:00 hours.

    I'm guessing I would need the PAC for anything like this then?

    Why not set it up to just switch on the light if there is movement and it is dark ? A PIR or multi sensor will do this for you automatically.
    You could use the PAC for this.

    One more question please.

    If dimmer circuits are controlled from outside the touchscreen, will the sllider controls on the touchscreen change to represent the new values?

    Is it possible to make it do this?

    Otherwise, the PIR would turn the light on to set value and then if I want to change it on the touchscreen it would be displaying the slider control at minimum which is not very good really.
