Again, that’s just something you have to try and see. It might also work better for taps lower in the sequence, like one, two, or three and turn out not to work very well for 11 and 12. So I think yours is worth a try, but if it turns out to work sometimes and not others, the issue is probably the cloud timing. I understand your project is different, because you want to just send the multiple on/offs to the switch, not toggle at the switch, but I did just want to mention the double tap issue because it’s been a change in the last few months. Since that was done, a previously usable smart app, “double tap,” which was intended to capture multiple taps on the physical switch, stopped working because the cloud processing became inconsistent in how much time it took to process the taps and it became very hard to recognize the specific double tap pattern. However, I don’t know if that is still working. Much depends on how precise the timing has to be There have been some people in the past who’ve been successful in setting up a relay as you describe to disable the motion sensing on an outdoor light switch that acquired a specific toggle pattern in a short period of time. Welcome! You might be able to do this, it’s going to depend in part on how precise the timing has to be for the multiple toggles.
( I’ve moved this to projects so you can get answers specific to your own set up. Are there any existing SmartApps that I could use as a starting point that might have similar logic?
#Pentair screenlogic lights not working code
This would be my first SmartApp, so I am just looking for feedback or thoughts on how doable that is? I figure a $30 Monoprice ZWave relay and some code gets me more functionality than a $200 switch that I still have to get off my butt to change. I was thinking I could accomplish the same effect as the controller by writing a custom SmartApp that you could pick one of 12 different modes and it would send the appropriate number of toggles to a relay behind the switch.
I don’t have any additional pool automation and a larger control panel is not in my budget right now. They do sell a $200 switch that allows you to directly access the color mode you want with the push of a button. Mine is installed as a simple outdoor switch and the color mode is change toggling the switch on and off a number of times. In my pool I have a Pentair Intellibrite LED light that has 7 different rotating color modes and 5 different single color modes. I have been using the system for about a week and I am starting to get an understanding of what s is possible with the system. I am new to the forum and new to SmartThings.
