Mech Scenes

I have a small scene turning on three groups stored in a C-Bus mech. The indicator turns on as you would expect when I press the button it is stored on, but when I run the same scene from a MKII touch screen, the indicator does not turn on, however it turns off when the three groups are turned off.

Is there a trick to make the indicator agree with the status of the scene?

All groups are on relays by the way.

 

Correct procedure I believe is to create the scene required in the touch screen pac or wiser and 'trigger' it from the switch.. Should alleviate your problem..

Cheers..

 

Thankyou Roosta

I would usually do this, however in this case I have twenty 3-gang plates in a warehouse, each with all off/50%/100% scenes in them. I have chosen to keep the scenes local for ease of programming and to provide some autonomy from the touch screen...

When I activate an all 100% or all 50% scene from the screen I would expect the twenty corresponding indicators to align as their scene is 'true'.

 

The indicators are controlled by the trigger group and action selector for a scene. When the action selector for the scene is triggered the indicator will come on. When any other action selector in the same trigger group is selected, the indicator will go off. To trigger the scene remotely (i.e. from the Touch Screen), you need to set the button to the trigger control application, the group address to the trigger group assigned to the scene, Preset for the key function and the required action selector in the level box.

 

Thanks Ashley - that's what I'll do.
