How do I set this up?
I would guess it would be a button in the following setting but there is no way to specify for example: 'Stairs light switch - doubleTapped'
The setting in Motion Lighting for buttons only looks for pushed events, so you can't use doubleTapped natively. (The "number" you see on the device page you're looking at is a parameter to the command, which you can manually send from the device page--along with this parameter, the button number that was double tapped--to simulate a "virtual" command. You probably won't have a reason to do this aside from maybe testing automations. In most cases, the button sends and event on its own when the real/physical event happens--no need to worry about the commands.)
I like the idea above to use a virtual switch instead. That way, it's easy to check the state of the switch. (Buttons don't really have this kind of easily-checkable state, so it's harder to tell if your ML app is disabled or not.) But if you really do want to use a button, you can create a virtual button and simulate its push() command (with the desired button number) in response to the real doubleTapped event from your actual button. But, again, I think I'd do a switch. (Or a variable, now supported directly.)
I'm interested in doing something similar. All of my standard switches connect to the lights via Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules behind the switch. Just the ability that when I switch the light on manually the motion rule is disabled or at least it stays on with no chance of it going off once the motion changes back to inactive.
I'm probably way off the mark (as I'm still struggling along with fairly basic rules) but is there any way of using the event data to switch a variable or something that can be then be used in a rule. For instance my dimmers report "switched on physical" if I use the switch, rather than "switched on digital" if it's via command. Can that be manipulated or there already a standard way of using "physical"/"digital"
Doh - The above message was yet another "brain fart" by me trying to overcomplicate things. I hadn't noticed that what I was looking for was already implemented in HE - the trigger being "Physical Switch" rather than "Switch" or "Physical Dimmer" rather than "Dimmer". So it should be easy enough in RM to add a conditional to disable the rule - IF > Physical Dimmer Level Changes THEN....
Edit: Not so easy. Physical Switch is only available as a trigger not as a predicate and can't be used in a conditional within an action. I'll make a separate post as I'm stumped
I use the Alexa Dimmer option in the motion lighting app and a separate button controller app to turn that on and off when I use my Hue Dimmer Switches. You could use a similar setup with the Button controller, but just use the double-tapped event.
(Or a variable, now supported directly.)
