create a "Toggle" button from LM

[duvelken]

Hi, 


i'm trying to get my LM to work together with my PLC.

So far, communication and mapping for status works fine.
in my plc i got a toggle function for my real life push buttons.

now i want to also write to the plc from my LM but the basis touch UI give a 0 or a 1 and does nog toggle so i can't interoperate between smartphone/physical buttons.

any ideas how to fix this ?

make "toggle" buttons in LM or try something else.

thx

Hi,

By default the button is a toggle button, only when you enter a fixed value it will send 0 or 1.

hi erwin,
 
i think i might do something wrong,

what i did:
- map 1 bool for the button, knx address 1/1/1 to modbus
- map 1 status for the feedback of the bulb to 2/2/2

in logicmachine i went to visualisation, added 1 new object, main 1/1/1 en status 2/2/2
1/1/1 = type switch
2/2/2 = type bool

when i use my phone and click on the button the first time, 1/1/1 goes to "on", the feedback of the bulb works an my icon lits up.
but 1/1/1 stays "on" and i can't change it again.

any idea whats wrong ?

Hi,

Should work like that..

Can you add a event script to 1/1/1 and add: log(event.getvalue()) to it and switch a few times?

I wunder if the value is send like it should and that something on the modbus side goes wrong.

Hey Ewin,

it goes on the first time and afterwards i only get the "off" value written in the logs

to reply on my own post, i think i got the misunderstanding.

the visu button is a toggle on its own. while i'm doing the toggle in my PLC.

so i just need the "push", not the "toggle" ....

Hi,

You might want to only send 1 by using 'send fixed value' and set it to 1 on the vis object, or if you use the new FW you can now set the button as a 'doorbell' by using the visparams on the object, select type start/stop for sending 1 on press and 0 on release or stop/start for sending a 0 on press and a 1 on release.
