PICED - Shutter Relay

I have latest version of PICED and I need to work out how to program my
C-Touch screen to operate my blinds.

On my DLT's I have used the Shutter Toggle function and they work a treat however there is no shutter toggle option in PICED.

I can get the blinds to operate in one direction only using the "Toggle, Timer" function so I'm stumped...

Ideally I would like them to operate the same as the DLT's.
Press 1 - Blinds Close
Press 2 - Blinds Stop
Press 3 - Blinds Open
Press 4 - Blinds Stop

 

SOLUTION: Preset - Shutter

So, I found the tools button which has various functions.

If you select it the first option by default is 'Shutter'. Once this is selected you can select all the network properties and configure button and it works... Close, Stop, Open, Stop!!!

 

Hi!
I have done the same thing in my project and it works fine as well
I am using L5501RBCP for the shutters. However, I need to control the shutters by group also. Anyone can please teach me how to do this because I don't find yet any options in PICED to create group for shutters connected to L5501RBCP.

Thanks.

 

Using the toggle functions to control multiple blinds doesn't work very well because the toggling is done by the shutter relay so they can easily get out of sync. for example, if you have multiple blinds opening and one of the blinds gets to its fully open position before the others and stops, if you press the switch again the other blinds will stop while the stopped blinds will start closing. To control multiple blinds you have to use the specific open, stop and close commands. (i.e. not any of the toggle commands). If you want to do this on a single switch, what I do is set the short release to shutter stop, and long press to toggle. So a long press will alternate between opening and closing the blinds, and a short press will stop the blinds. This works because the toggle function is done by the switch. To control multiple blinds you can either just select them all on the blocks tab, or use the area group.

 

Got a similar question but on the Wiser 2 ... I want to control 4 shutter relays as a group using a single 3 button widget ... Is this possible? I can't seem to make it work

 

If you always want them to move as a group just set all the shutter relays to the same group address and the 3 button widget to the same address. As the 3 button widget issues open/close and stop commands they will stay in sync just fine.

If you want individual control as well as group control create 3 scenes called say open, close and stop. Set all shutters in the open scene to 100%, the close scene to 0% and the stop scene to 2%. Create a new trigger group and 3 action selectors of 255, 0 and 5 (these are the same levels as percentages) and assign these to the appropriate scenes. On the 3 button widget select the trigger application and your new trigger group. Each button will trigger the appropriate scene.

 

it sounds so logical when you put it like that ... thank you!
