1) Give a description of the problem
I want certain lights in my house to blink when SHM is tripped when it’s dark outside
2) What is the expected behaviour?
Lights blink on trip
3) What is happening/not happening?
I’m not getting anything to happen
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]
System variables do not make for good triggers, but they work great when used as a condition.
I’m curious, which SimSwitch is line 16 referring to as “Alarm Blink Trigger”?
(I cannot tell from the anonymous snapshot)
I’m asking because SimSwitches can be excellent triggers!
My apologies. That’s a comment that is/was left over from a previous attempt to get this work… It’s not in the code.
Now that I look at it… I never turn them “ON”. I just assumed setting the level to 100 would do it…? I’ll test it when I return home.
On 99% of bulbs, setting the level to any % (except 0) will automatically turn the bulbs on.
(I usually only send the “Level” command)
For future troubleshooting, you might want to turn on Trace, and set your logging level to “Full”. It really helps when tracking down issues.
