Matrix Membrane keypad

[foggy]

Hi All,

New to both Domoticz and MySensors.
I have set up a node using http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2001/how-to-make-a-simple-cheap-scene-controller-with-video
All appears to working well.
I can see the new node in Domoticz logs and when I press each key I can see an entry.

2016-01-31 19:17:41.201 New sensors allowed for 5 minutes...
2016-01-31 19:17:50.916 MySensors: Node: 14, Sketch Name: Scene Controller
2016-01-31 19:17:50.948 MySensors: Node: 14, Sketch Version: 1.0
2016-01-31 19:17:58.917 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)
2016-01-31 19:18:03.023 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)
2016-01-31 19:18:07.279 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)
2016-01-31 19:18:12.338 (MySensors) Lighting 2 (Unknown)

I then add them as devices and change the names Scene1, Scene2, etc.

However from then onwards nothing happens when I press the keypad. I don't see any activity in the log.

I suspect that Lighting 2 AC On, Level: 100 % are not the correct parameters for what I am using as I would not have thought that an Off/On switch was appropriate for a press switch.

However I have tried some other types of switches, tried changing from On/Off to "Push On" but I don't appears to making any progress.

Can any one help guide me?

What I am trying to do is - Once Domoticz registers the appropriate switch being pressed I will have it call a script.

Best wishes.

James.

Hi James!

A switch is either on/off in Domoticz. And if its set to on, and gets a new on command - nothing happens.
You either needs to send a off command a few seconds after a on (i recommend this!) or you set the timer inside Domoticz (off command). This delay inside Domoticz has been working... not great in the last betas. Thats why i recommend sending the off command.

@sundberg84

Thank you. That makes sense.

For the moment I'll use the timer in Domoticz as a quick fix. My programming skills are 0 at the moment. However I will google to see if I can figure your way out.

Best wishes.

James
