RE: C_Bus Question

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank -



            I think
what you are saying is that you want a group to come on
at 50% when a PIR (non C-Bus) connected to an Aux input is activated
and
then to switch off after 5 mins - is that right ??.



Firstly - I think you might want to be using RETRIG rather than START



            I think
where you may also be tripping up is that the RETRIG is
normally generated by the short (or long release) and the PIR is
probably
holding it closed due to its own timer - could that be right ?? That
would
mean the RETRIG was only happening after the PIR timed out.  



            Kevin -



Contact me offlist if there's still an issue - onlist only makes people
jealous of your setup !!! ;)

Hi All
        This ones for Rob / Kevin
I probably should reread the Clipsal manual but hopefuly this is an
easy
one......

Last nite i got the C_Bus happening and was playing with the aux inputs
which will get connected to relays controlled by Genesis......Now what
i
would like (had it working at one stage) is when an input is triggered
(i
assume long press as the minimum time is 1 second ) caused by a pir
activation plus time late at nite that the group output goes to say 50%
and
after approx 5 minutes ramps off.......I can get the output to 50% ok
but
cant seem to get the timer function to happen.......any ideas..Have set
the
time value for 5 minutes and to ramp off when timer expired...

short press = idle
short release = idle
Long press =recall 1
Long release = start
