Light scenes KNX

[lf96player]

Hi,

I wanted to make a scene where I have three lights (later more lights). It should first dim one light from 0% to 100%, after that another one, and finally the last one. Objects that I have for lights are on/off, dim, value, on/off status and value status. Perhaps I only need value and value status objects. Can anyone help me how to write the script in lua? Script should be called when I press the button on touch panel or at a certain time of day.

Thanks

Why don't you just use Scene for this?

I am using SpaceLYnk, and I can't find option to make it dim to 100%, and after that to start another light to do the same thing. I want to time for dimming of one light to be like 3-5s

This example will dim 3 lights from 0% to 100% in 10% steps with 0.2 seconds delay between each step. You can adjust the step/delay as needed and also add new group addresses to the list.

Code:

1234567891011

step = 10 delay = 0.2 addrs = { '32/1/15', '32/1/16', '32/1/17' } for _, addr in ipairs(addrs) do   obj = grp.find(addr)   for value = 0, 100, step do     obj:write(value)     os.sleep(delay)   end end

excuse me admin dor this question, it's for learning.
why do you use grp.find.
could we use grp.write(add,value) instead

It's a tiny bit faster since each grp.write call requires a database query. You can also use grp.write(addr, value, dt.scale) so no query is needed as the datatype is set directly.

thank you for this info

Thanks for your response. 

How can I make it go like that and then opposite. When the third light reaches 100%, then it should dim to 0%, then the second should dim to 0%, and then first. And how to make a loop that the whole process repeats again, and how to stop that loop?

Create a resident script with sleep time set to 0 and set the script name to light scene

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920

step = 10 delay = 0.2 addrs = { '32/1/15', '32/1/16', '32/1/17' } for _, addr in ipairs(addrs) do   for value = 0, 100, step do     grp.write(addr, value, dt.scale)     os.sleep(delay)   end end for i = #addrs, 1, -1 do     addr = addrs[ i ]   for value = (100 - step), 0, -step do     grp.write(addr, value, dt.scale)     os.sleep(delay)   end   end

Then you can create an event script (1-bit object) which can be used to turn the scene on and off:

Code:

123456

value = event.getvalue() if value then   script.enable('light scene') else   script.disable('light scene') end

How can I get this script to dim the first groupadress 0-100%, and at the same time thr first groupadres dims from 100-0%, the second goupadress dims from 0-100%?

Try this:

Code:

123456789101112131415161718192021

step = 10 delay = 0.2 addrs = { '20/3/0', '20/3/1', '20/3/2', '20/3/3' } for i = 1, #addrs + 1 do   curr = addrs[ i ]   prev = addrs[ i - 1 ]   for value = 0, 100, step do     if curr then       grp.write(curr, value, dt.scale)     end     if prev then       grp.write(prev, 100 - value, dt.scale)     end     os.sleep(delay)   end end
