Hello community.
Years ago when I 1st set up my system I had downloaded an awesome user app for controlling button devices. I since moved and have a new system and for the life of me can’t recall the app.
You could assign a single button that 1st press ran an action. Second press ran a different action. I believe you could assign 7 different actions to each press.
I downloaded ABC. Basic button controller and button controller but neither one of those seem to have that option.
I’m looking to set up the following.
Button 1. Press. On, set level to 100, set white 3000
Ideally when I press button 1 again I want the lights off I know this is a toggle but I always want the 1st press to be 100 and white.
Button 2. Cycle through 4 or 5 different colors. Change color on each press
Button 3. Dim up
Button 4 Dim down.
Zen 37 remote.
I’m sure I can set this in a rule somewhere but seems like that user app that I used to have might be a better option if I can recall the name.
Appreciate any thoughts.
I just installed about 20 color zigbee lights and have a half a dozen zen 37s I want to use.
Edit: Re read your post and can see that you need more than single tap, double tap, release. Maybe there's some community app someone can recommend.... Though you should be able to achieve what you've said in your example. Number 2 - cycling through the different colours on consecutive presses will need some additional logic possibly to store the current option and pick the next. All doable though.
Pretty sure ABC is what you are looking for, it has scene cycling capabilities. But implementing yourself in Button Controller or Rule Machine is pretty easy, you need to add a variable that gets incremented when the button is pushed. Here's a sample from Rule Machine that cycles between 4 scenes.
I figured out which app it was...and its exactly what i was looking for ...and soo simple to configure. Its called Dimmer Button Controller. One instance of a rule lets you configure as many buttons as the device has. Now have mine set up where
Button 1 will toggle from on off...and every time it comes on - will go to the settings i wanted ( white, level 100)
Button 2 will advance through 4 different colors on successive presses.
Button 3 dims up 15% on each press
Button 4 will dim down on each press.
Really like the app for its simplicity and ease to configure.
