Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to store the existing states of a number of lights prior to them all being turned off? I know it sounds a bit abstract so I'll put it in an example scenario
There is an open plan area which is divided into rooms within Cortex. The main zone has sub-zones 1, 2 and 3 and all have a number of lights, dimmable and non-dimmable. There are a number of occasions where occupancy will be in sub-zone 3 but the lights would only be left on in sub-zone 1 or there may be some on in sub-zone 2 and sub-zone 3 or even all the lights may be on at 100% or another dim level.
What I would like to do is to have the lighting come back on to the exact same settings when the main zone goes from occupied - unoccupied - occupied. At the moment this is done manually and I have a macro that resets dim levels and turns off all the lights when the main zone moves into the unoccupied state. Going the other way doesn't seem to be as easy. I was wondering if it would be possible to write the current states to a virtual object or some sort of variable and then recall it when the main zone becomes occupied?
Thanks,
Nad
