Aux Input Help....

Hi,

My alarm system has a relay board that creates a closed circuit when in an armed state and an open circuit when in a disarmed state.

When the circuit is closed (i.e. long press), I want to set a scene (All Off) and when the circuit opens set another scene (Entry) (i.e. Long Release)

I have created two scene as follows:
1. "Entry" Scene with a few lights
2. "All off" Scene with everything off.

I've connected the relay contacts to a L5504AUX (Aux Input) but am struggling to understand how to set the two scenes based on the change of contact state.

I presume that "Key 4" is the 4th input (which I've connected the relay to). For Key 4's Function I have selected "Scene" and "All Off" is selected.

... But:

- How do I set a different scene (e.g. Entry) once the alarm is disarmed (and the contacts are open again?).

- Does it involve the virtual keys somehow? I cannot find any documentation whatsoever on this unit.

I must be missing something here.....

Thanks in advance

 

Hi Tom82,

Try controlling an intermediate C-Bus GA (called say "Armed", preferably in the Control Application) with the Aux Input unit channel using a simple bell press setting for that input, then trigger scene A when "Armed" is 100%, and trigger scene B when "Armed" is 0%, which you can define in the scene setup when implementing scenes on a PAC, touch screen, or Wiser, for example.

With C-Bus programming you often need to combine standard basic functions (introduced in the C-Bus training courses) to achieve what you want to.

It is quite the same

 

Thank you for the help! That worked beautifully.
