Hi all,
I have a Cooper 5-scene wall controller with those little z-wave toggle toggle LEDs. I use the buttons to trigger events for turning on the A/V system as well as whole-house music system (among other things).
Both of these devices I also can/will start up with other methods of control (like my Harmony remote or Sonos app). I got the idea of creating an event to monitor for device changes and toggle the LED on the controller on if it was turned on from somewhere else. This works well. However, the controller button itself still thinks that it is off if I turned on the device from the other source, even though the toggle LED is now lit. Makes sense I guess...
But the result is that I now cannot simply use the wall button to turn off the device that it thinks is already off. What I am looking for is a way to set the controller button to "Scene On" (as well as turn on the LED) when these other states are detected. All this, without triggering the event that the button is programmed to trigger.
Hope that makes sense... if so, any thoughts on a approach?
Thank you,
John
