Switch Block with Remote Help

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I’ve been attempting to create a piston with a switch block for an Aeon Minimote. I was able to create a non switch block piston as a test with one button and a simple toggle — it worked fine. When I tried to map the rest of the buttons using a switch block, there was no response from the minimote

2) What is the expected behavior?
Map buttons so that they control both pushes and holds via a single piston with a switch block.

3) What is happening/not happening?
events are not triggered

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

Any help with this would be much appreciated. I’m pretty new to all of this so it’s a lot of trial and error. This one ended in more error, hence this post.

I’d just break that into an IF statement for each button.

IF button #1 gets pushed
THEN do this

IF button #2 gets pushed
THEN do this

etc…

The reason yours isn’t working is because you have triggers within triggers. If keypad button #2 gets pushed, it’ll trigger the piston and pass the first IF condition. By the time it gets to line #23 it may evaluate false since it wasn’t “just pushed” and you’ll get unexpected results.

Thanks so much. Still getting the hang of it. Sorted out the button pushes and got it working, now trying to figure out the button holds.
