    Links Question

    I've been setting a couple of switches to Activate or Deactivate with double taps. I'm struggling a bit with this. I get it to work just fine, HS sees the double press fine but when i want to use it to trigger an event i have trouble with it retriggering

    for lots of events i use the "changed to" command in the event but with a UPB link as the device i don't get that choice. It sure would be nice if i did but it's not there.

    Should it be? the only choices i get are varations of dims, fade off/on and Activate or Deactivate. I'd love to see a changed to Activate or Deactivate in the choices.

    Here is how I trigger an event from a double-tap of the OFF button of a 6-button controller:

    In UpbStart, I set the Double-Tap action to "Snap Off"

    In HS, I trigger an event on a Device Value Change for the UPB LINK becomes "Fade Off"

      I'll try that, thanks. You do have to be a little on the creative to use all this to full advantage.

        That's what the "Force all link commands to be considered a change" option is for in the UPB config. Since HomeSeer doesn't support the the set and change differentiation for custom value devices you can have the plug-in reset the link values right before they they are set. This makes HomeSeer see them as a change.

          Ohhh, now that makes sense and would make it a lot easier. Thanks!

            I bet that would fix a few issues I had!!
            Tasker, to a person who does Homeautomation...is like walking up to a Crack Treatment facility with a truck full of 3lb bags of crack. Then for each person that walks in and out smack them in the face with an open bag.
