Button to trigger action directly vs trigger a different piston?

[fx12002]

Hello all,

I have a button controller that I will be using to trigger different lighting scenarios. Is there any advantage to having the button trigger a separate piston that contains the lighting settings I want vs just having the settings all in the same piston?

I should note that most of the actions are not just simple light on or off but different color/ brightness settings based on time of day or other variables. For example, at noon, when button #1 pressed, lights at 80% 5500k but at 7 pm button #1 pressed is lights at 70% 3200k, etc.

Thank you very much!

Doesent make much difference if you do it in one piston or many… though it keeps your dashboard tidy if you can use less I suppose.

Perhaps use a switch case, same as this example I posted earlier:

Here you go… I used to have it using all 30 inputs but my tenants were confused and only wanted the single clicks (1-6)… just add more cases as required. [image]
