Nightswitch

[D4rthRex]

Hi,

I'm sorry for the english post, but I barely understand german (thank you google translate), so writing german would be a disaster..

So I actually have two questions, concerning some shared compontents:

I have two all off buttons, one at the front door and one in the hallway at the bedrooms (let's call it the nightswitch). The one at the front door works fine: all the actors shut down. But the nightswitch should not shut down the lights in the bedrooms for obvious reasons.. Is there some way around that this can be solved?

My seconds questions involves also the nightswitch. In my hallways I have placed sensors to automatically switch on the lights. But because I don't want full lights at night when someone walks around, I installed also small night leds. So basically what I want is when the nighswitch is pressed, the sensors activate the leds instead of the full lights until the nightswitch is pressed again or if possible automatically at 06:00 o clock in the morning (time is available in my system).

My lights are connected to a Jung-actor: 2316.16 REGHE (https://www.jung.de/de/online-katalog/69313122/).

Thanks in advance !

Hi Tim! Welcome to the forum!
To answer your first question: create a second GA for the second 'Central Off' function. The first GA will be tied to all the actor channels that need to turn off when leaving the home. The second GA (transmitted by the pushbutton in your hallway) will be tied to the same actor channels as for the general 'Central Off' GA, with the exception of the lights that should stay on of course.

For your second item you will need some logic somewhere in your system. It can be easily done, as long as you have devices with built-in logic (typically the AND function), or some logic engine.

Forthe Nightlight in the Bedroom, you can use th Logik input in the actuator. Use an "and" logic. The channel with the cyling lights get the invers Night Object, the LED the night object.

Hi,

The first problem was indeed solvable with the GA, but when I push this switch, the big lights in the hallway will light up again when the sensor is activated, right? The switch is a push-button, so the bus gets only once the signal, but the big lights should stay off until the morning.

The actuator has a logic function built in, but I don't understand immediately what I should do with it?

Let's say you have a GA called 'Daytime'. This GA then gets set to '0' when you push that 'night'-switch. Your clock (which you need to have for that - you only mention you have the time available) then can set that GA back to '1' at 6:00 a.m. (By the way, I would not do it based on a fixed time, in winter it still will be uncomfortable when all your lights in the hallway are bright when you get up at 6:00.)
That 'Daytime' GA will then be an additional input for your two actor channels. For the 'bright' lights in the hallway, use that for your 'AND' KO of the actor channel. Those lights will then only go on when both the 'Daytime' GA and the switching GA for that light are '1'.
For the small night leds you will need the inverted value of the 'Daytime' GA. If you do not have logic available in the actor or somewhere else in your system to invert the value of a GA, then it would be easiest to always have those lights go on when movement is detected.

If you don't have a clock in your system that can trigger the setting of a GA at 6:00, then let the 'night'-switch take that action, for instance by implementing a long-press of the same button (or pressing another button, if you have it available).
