Is there a way to only have an event trigger only if the device's value is changed at the device itself (local control). Here is the scenario:
I have a Homeseer Z-Wave dimmer (HS200+). The event triggers when the Multilevel device changes. Using Easy Trigger, it sets a group of Hue lights to its value * 2.54. This works flawlessly. Let's call it SwitchControl
Conversely, I have another event that keeps the LEDs in sync with the current value in the event that it changes from somewhere else. I take the Hue device and divide by 2.54.
What I don't want is for the LED sync event to cause a "change" that triggers the SwitchControl event to run.
In other words, if the multilevel device gets changed via an event or program, I just want the LEDs to indicate what I tell it, but not trigger a device "change" in case the value is off. (I also had to insert a 4-second delay in the LED sync routine to prevent a really destructive loop!)
On the ISY there is a way to do this. ISY differentiates the two via Device Control vs Device Status. Is there a similar way to do with with HS3? (hoping so because I'm so close to perfection on this!)
