I would like to set up a rule wherein I hit an LTM5 and several switches turn off. I am lost as to how to do this. Is there a guide somewhere?

Are you saying when you Turn off the LTM5 switch you want the other switches to turn off as well?

You can create "Mirrors" in InControl.

A Mirror will basically make one switches state reflect onto another.

Example: You have LTM5 Switch labeled "LTM5" and another standard switch labeled "Kitchen Light"

If you click "LTM5" and choose Mirrors and select "Kitchen Light" then when you turn "LTM5" off the "Kitchen Light" will be off.



or do you mean "off" as in disable the switch entirely?

No, what I want to do is use a Rule to activate a Scene. I want to turn the LTM-5 off and activate a particular scene. I then want to turn it on, and activate a different scene.

In other words, I want the LTM-5 to act as a simple switch to choose between two different scenes.

There must be a way to link the LTM-5 to a rule.

If the switch is turned to "ON" you can make it activate a scene then when you switch to off you can make it activate another scene.

The catch is Each scene needs to also contain the devices the "ON" scene does and vice versa so you can properly turn on/off each scene


Scene 1 = Switch ON
This scene would say turn on 3 lights in the house. Kitchen, Livingroom, Bedroom1
It would turn off Bedroom 2 and Front Porch Light.

Scene 2 = Switch OFF
This would turn on Bedroom 2 and Front Porch Light
it would turn off Kitchen, Livingroom and Bedroom1


Using Rules to monitor for the switches State ON run scene "Switch ON" OFF run scene "Switch Off"

That is about all I can come up with LOL.

Is that what you are asking for?
