Alarm on B&W screens

Hello All,

been a while since I posted, but making a few 'tweaks'.

I've installed a vehicle detector loop under the drive and relay input to c-bus via Aux input unit.
I would like to create an alarm (special function), that is only active for say 15 seconds after vehicle has triggered input.
Ideally would like the alarm to sound from all 3 B&W screens?
tried to create group in lighting that has special function alarm, group activates but no alarm, if I manually activate the group on one of the screens it operates the 'beep' on that screen only, the group is active on the other screens but no 'beep'!?
I'm guessing I need to activate the beep from the screen, but how can I repeat to the other screens?
Any suggestions?

 

I assume that you actually have a button which activates the alarm via a Special Function and you are wanting to remote control that button via a C-Bus Group Address.

The help file topic "Remote Control" explains how to do this. Note in particular:

 

thanks, I'll give it a go

 

got the alarm function to work thanks.

The vehicle detection loop is a 'dry contact' input to an aux input unit.
I set it up as ON/OFF function, and am only getting the signal every other vehicle, I guess only when its switched ON.
I thought a bell press maybe better, but it doesn't seem to be an option?
what function can I set the input to so its only 'active' when the dry contact is made?

TIA, Aaron
