SP+ Scene Indicators

Hey All,

Another interesting one. I have an installation that has multiple screens of CTC, Spectrum and SP+. The screens basically are just copies of each other, controlling the same groups and ect.

I have attached a screen shot of the CTC screen to give you an idea of what is going on, but on each screen I have multiple buttons that are set to a scene. Each of these scenes are setting one group to 100% and the other groups in that scene to 0%. I need the indication on the buttons to change to show what preset/scene has been selected. This all works fine on the CTC and Spectrums and it updates ok on all the screens on the network with the same scenes. This also works fine if you press the buttons on SP+

However it does not work the other way. As in if you press a button on one of the CTC or Spectrums it indicates the correct one as active on SP+ but does not extinguish the previous button. So you can end up with all the buttons on the page looking like they are active when only one actually is.

What I think is interesting is that it works fine on Homegate on the CTC and Spectrums, but doesn't in SP+. I know if I made SP+ set all the scenes using triggers it would probably work but for various reasons I can't really do that as well as the fact I do need the redundancy of any screen being able to set the scene and not relying on SP+ to do it.

Has anyone got any ideas on a way to fix this?

 

Do you have more than one C-Bus network?

What is the setting of the "Use Indicator Kill for Showing Scene Status" option in Schedule Plus?

 

Yes, 3 with 2 bridges, both in AC mode and forwarding to the far networks. However all the screens are on the middle network and all groups in scenes are on the middle network.

It is off. When I had it on I wasn't getting any indication at all on scene buttons in SP. When I was reading the help file it seems that you have to be using triggers for it to work as it only sends the messages on the trigger app?

 

It is probably going to be necessary for you to send your project archive to Tech Support. Give them details of exactly how to make the problem occur.

 

Ok no worries. Thanks!
