Using one push button for creating more than 2 different scenes

Procedure

Creating the controls and the devices

1. Create a double push button with LEDs (PB1).
2. Create the virtual devices (VIRT1 to VIRT3):
   • VIRT1: virtual device controlled by PB1
   • VIRT2 and VIRT3: to make the 3 combinations for the 3 scenes
3. Create the lighting (LAMP1 and LAMP2).

Creating the routine

Create a custom routine (ROUT1) to activate VIRT1 with the first button of PB1. Use the following behaviour:

• Control that initiates the routine: button 1 of the push button (PB1).
• Devices that are part of the routine: VIRT1
  • Start behaviour: VIRT1: Value = true, Delay = 0 s
  • Stop behaviour: leave empty

Creating the conditions

Create 3 conditions which at each button press (PB1) check the programmed scene and switch to the next scene.

1. Create a condition (COND1) for pushing PB1 the first time (VIRT1). Use the following logic:
   • IF (VIRT1: Value = true) and (VIRT2: Value  =  false) and (VIRT3: Value  = false)
   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  = false)
   • ELSE leave empty
2. Create a condition (COND2) for pushing PB1 for the second time (VIRT2). Use the following logic:
   • IF  (VIRT1: Value  =  true) and (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)
   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  = true)
   • ELSE leave empty
3. Create a condition (COND3) for pushing PB1 for the third time. Use the following logic:
   • IF (VIRT1: Value  =  true) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  = true)
   • THEN (ROUT1: Initiators = deactivate) and (VIRT1: Value  = false) and (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =false)
   • ELSE leave empty

Create 3 conditions for the scenes using VIRT2 and VIRT3.

1. Create a condition (COND4) for deactivating all the lighting. Use the following logic:
   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)
   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = off) and (LAMP2: Value  = off)
   • ELSE leave empty
2. Create a condition (COND5) for activating all the lighting. Use the following logic:
   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = true) and (VIRT3: Value  =  false)
   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = on) and (LAMP2: Value  = on)
   • ELSE leave empty
3. Create a condition (COND6) for activating all the lighting. Use the following logic:
   • IF (VIRT2: Value  = false) and (VIRT3: Value  =  true)
   • THEN (LAMP1: Value  = off) and (LAMP2: Value  = on)
   • ELSE leave empty
