Thanks Milan
I used WebCore to make a setup with master/slave lights so that in Actiontiles I had a tile with one bulb that I could turn on/of and dim and other bulbs followed this through a piston in WebCore that copied the parameters from the master bulb. I miss this opportunity after WebCore and that ActionTiles doesn’t support groups of lights.
Maybe I could recreate it with a virtual device and routines - but how do you make the routine that changes in relative numbers (+/-5%)? As I see it, I can only make routines with absolute numbers :frowning:

Others that have solved the master/slave issue in other ways?

227

Is there a possibility to increase the number of switch more the 5 in the switch board without using more switchboard?

228

Hi @ivhazu

They can be added, but for each switch added the code grows.
How many you need?

229

Hi @Mariano_Colmenarejo,
I’ll need 8!
Thanks you very much!

230

Can I ask what you do with a virtual switchboard?

231

As @milandjurovic71 explains me I create some routines to change the colors of a led strip.

232

To make a color sequence you don’t need a switchBoard.
With a virtual text fields:

  • You write in Text field-1: Off
  • Write a routine for each color:

    • If
      Text-1= Color1 for x seconds

    • Then
      Text-1 : Color2
      Lamp color: Red

    • If
      Text-1= Color2 for x seconds

    • Then
      Text-1 : Color3
      Lamp color: Green
      …

Then you write a routine to turn off the loop:

  • If
    Text-1=Off
  • Then
    Lamp: Off

To turn On an Off from a button:

If button x pressed Then Text-1: Color1

If x button y pressed Then Text-1: Off

@Mariano_Colmenarejo my understanding was that he wanted to switch the colors with push of single button. Every time he presses the physical button to change the color.

234

Yes is exactly what i did!

That’s even easier:
With the same virtual device of text fields:

  • You write in text field 1 one of the colors name: Color1, for example.

  • Write a routine for each color:

    • If
      Text-1= Color1
      x button pressed

    • Then
      Text-1 : Color2
      Lamp color: Red

    • If
      Text-1= Color2
      x button pressed

    • Then
      Text-1 : Color3
      Lamp color: Green

… the same for all the following colors

Then if you want you can write a routine to turn off the light:

  • If
    button z pressed
  • Then
    Lamp: Off

Hi Mario.

disregard.

Hi Marriano,

I do not think this is a routine issue, but I thought I would ask the guru @Mariano_Colmenarejo. My routine did not work this morning, but I believe it is related to the U.S.A time change, as I have other time based automation issues, are these routines correct?

I noticed that it changed the time in the automation, but when you go to edit the automation, it’s set at the original time

Hi @NickA

It may be that today, Sunday, according to the last capture, the time 03:00 did not exist and it went directly from 02:00 to 03:01, but I don’t know for sure

240

Once all of today’s’ time change issues settle down I will retest it, but nothing with time in it appears to be working today.

241

Do we have to reset the driver manually for daylight saving time (there actually is no s on saving)? I changed my offset so that time is correct. Although, I am testing it, and I have a text sent 20 minutes before sunrise, and it seemed to use the correct time this morning (pre adjustment manually for DST), so I wonder if it does adjust for DST?

242

I had the same problem with 2 AM settings becoming 3 AM settings and I can not change them back to 2AM. But 1:59 AM works, do that is what I am using.

243

All calculations are made with respect to GMT time and are adjusted to local time according to the entered value.
Everything should work fine once the local time offset to GMT is updated.

244

Here the change to daylight saving time will be on March 26 at 2 a.m. I have done the change routine at 3:01 a.m. from March 26, let’s see if it works

245

…Ouch…That hurt
