    Hi all,
    I have been able to trigger a scene using the home safe security 16 zone blah blah etc on the TRIGGER APPLICATION.
    Can you trigger a scene that is stored in C-touch Mk II with logic.
    The scene is stored in the lighting application. The group address of the scene is 80 so as follows:
    P151E 99 1 15 080 FOR ALARM ON
    P152E 98 1 00 080 FOR ALARM OFF.
    Am I correct in thinking that this should work or is there something I'm missing
    I have set the scene in the lighting app to have the same trigger group just on/off.
    Any feedback of similar scenarios greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    To all have a great weekend!!!

    Try.

    P151E 98 1 15 080 E ...FOR Security Armed
    P152E 99 1 15 081 E ...FOR Security Disarmed

    Then add some logic as in...

    Security on:
    once GetLightingstate ("Security Armed") = ON then
    begin
    TimerStart (1);
    SetLightingLevel("Security Disarmed", 0%, "0s");
    end;

    once GetLightingState("Security Armed") = OFF then
    begin
    TimerStop (1);
    end;

    once TimerTime (1) = 180 then
    begin
    PulseCBusLevel("Local", "Trigger Control", "Turn House off", 100%, "0s", "0:00:04", 0%);
    TimerStop (1);
    end;

    You can make up a "security off" as well. Turn some lights on if its night time etc.

    Home safe to trigger c-bus scene?? still no luck

    A bit more detail, I have:
    P150E 1E :- ON to enable C-Bus

    I have 2 scenes stored in the C-touch under the lighting application sharing the same group address (080) ALARM ON/OFF with the corresponding Action Selector :
    ON for panel armed and the on scenes turns off lights, blinds etc
    OFF for panel disarmed and the scene turns on lights, blinds etc

    I have then programmed:
    P151E 99 1 15 080 E FOR ALARM ON
    P152E 98 1 00 080 E FOR ALARM OFF

    Thanks Ross I tried your suggestion of reversing the event codes with no luck. However I must admit my skills are limited as I have never done any logic work. Only creating scenes and triggering them from other keys is about as far as I have gone (to date!!). So with out logic maybe what I want to do can't be done on the lighting app. Can I do it on the trigger app?
    I don't want to try too many things (experimenting?) with this particular project? Family is in and living. Thinking through my keyboard, create the same scene but in the trigger app same info for everything else. Might work.
    Or do Icreate the same scene on lighting and store it in a local key input unit and trigger it from there.
    Nothing better to do on my weekend, weather is ****!!
    Regards
