Re: [mh] Keypadlincs & Scenes

[H P. <hp...@gm...>]

So adding those entries in the mht file didn’t work for me. Does the KPL button need to be linked to each of those devices that it controls (ie does KPL_C need to be linked to the screen_light, theatre_front and theatre_main)? Right now it is only linked to the PLM.

MH sees the KPL keypresses, as I created some code to print status. It seems easier to me to create some user code to do this:

if ($state = state_now $theatre_kpl_c) {
  set $theatre_scene_startup $state
}

However I’d prefer the integrated approach, so I must be missing something?

I’ve done a local controller/responder on A to a lamplinc, and it works. I connected buttons B - H to the PLM by pressing set on the PLM, then set on the keypadlinc. Got the double beep. Then set on the keypadlinc and set on the PLM, got the double beep.
