    Hey everyone,

    After a bit of advice and programming help working out how to replicate the behaviour of a current non C-Bus three position switch (39MSON-WE) wired up to a sensor and a light. Currently we can have the light always off, sensor driven or always on.

    Using Sensor Enable/Disable on the PIR I can override it using the same group controlled by the key input (pretty typical override on), but I can't work out how to do an override off as well as an override on.

    There was another thread about this (https://www.cbusforums.com/threads/pir-auto-manual.11070/#post-60096) but faced the same issue with not being able to have all three operating modes (override off, override on, sensor driven).

    Cheers

    Not sure about the device. But typically you would need three scenes that could be triggered by one trigger group at three different levels.
    ie, Trigger Group 001, Level 000 - Scene that switches ON sensor Disable, and light group OFF = Always off.
    Trigger Group 001, Level 001 - Scene that switches OFF sensor Disable = Sensor.
    Trigger Group 001, Level 002 - Scene that switches ON sensor Disable, and light group ON = Always on.

    You can have two scenes hidden on a another unit, or use a logic type unit with scene capability.
