How to Schedule a Scene with Wiser ???

Hi

I'm running PICED 4.8.2

I'm trying to work out the best way to schedule a scene on for 3 minutes.

The scene comprises two relays and I want to turn them on for 3 minutes and then off again.

I can manually turn the scene on/off using a Wiser widget to turn on/off the scene's trigger control.

But when it comes to scheduling I can't get the scene to go on and then off.

Using schedule if I pulse the trigger control on for 3 minutes the relays go on, but after 3 minutes the trigger control goes off and the relays stay on.

I've tried pulsing the scene group using for 3 minutes in schedule. Also tried pulsing a lighting group.

I'm obviously missing something ?????

 

Hi 7iron,

Just to double check, I assume you have 2 action selectors configured on that trigger group and one action selector is your on, and another is your off. If the trigger control is being set, ie: set to action selector for on and then action selector for off, which I think is what you're saying above, then it should work fine. I'm kinda stumped as to why it wouldn't work. To gather more data, is this a local scene or a remote scene?

 

Hi and thanks for your reply. The Scenes are local to the Wiser (that is they are created using the PICED Wiser Widget manager.

I am probably not doing it right.

I have two Scene's
- an ON Scene
- an OFF Scene

Both Scene's share the same Trigger Control

- the ON Scene is enabled with Trigger Control ON
- the OFF Scene is enable with Trigger Control OFF

So I was hoping to turn the Scene on by using the Schedule Pulse function to Pulse the Trigger ON for 3 Minutes and my thinking was the Trigger would go ON (Scene ON) then would return to the OFF state (Scene OFF).

But its not clear from reading the documentation if this would work.

Are you saying I need two Schedules an ON Schedule followed by an OFF Schedule ?

I sorta looking for a way to do with with just one schedule because it seems a simpler solution - which means less stuff I can mess up later !!

 

It looks like there us a problem with using a pulsed trigger group to trigger two Scenes. Issue Reference 19354

As a work-around, you can pulse the groups in a Scene to a level then off again. When creating the Schedule:
1. Select Pulse Group(s)
2. Select the Scene Groups option and select the Scene
3. Set the Level to 100% and the Final Level to 0%

 

Thanks Darren I'll try that

Something else that didn't work was using a Wiser 2 State Lighting Relay Widget with a trigger. It would not toggle between the two states.

General Lighting Relay I could get to toggle states ok.

 

I tried that again and the pulse Scene Groups doesn't do anything.

My Scene has two relays and I have set the levels of both relays in the Scene to 100%

I can set the Scene on with the Schedule Set Scene option and it turns the Scene on but off course it never gets turned off again.

 

That is odd because we tried it here and it worked fine.
