Visual Assistant - scene buttons

[Perry]

I have been playing around with the Visual Assistant and was able to do a number of interesting things with minimal effort.
However, I have not been able to find out how I can add a button that can send a scene selection.

I have a separate, hardware touch-screen that has been programmed with a number of scenes already, which can be selected by sending a GA of the type u08 on the bus.
For instance, sending GA 12/0/0 with value 1 selects scene 1, sending GA 12/0/0 with value 2 selects scene 2, etc.

I would ideally like to be able to add something like 5 buttons to my existing webpage and link each with GA 12/0/0 and value 1 to 5, which would allow for direct selection of a scene.
The only buttons I have found in the library can only handle b01 type GA's.

I would surely appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Perry

An easy workaround is: Use a Light-Button, to trigger an 1-Bit GA.
In your code you simply add:

if event("1-BitGA") then callscene("SceneGA", ScenNr) endif

Thanks, that is certainly a 'quick and dirty' solution that I can understand and that would work.

If I wanted to do it 'properly', could I then add a light button in the Visu Assistant and modify the code of the .epc files directly (i.e. outside of EIBStudio) using a text editor?

Of course. Keep in mind your code will be overwritten, if you reuse the Assistant, if you don't change the name of the files.
