In my rec room, I have my desk and my TV. I have 4 Hue lights controlled by the Hue plugin, and 2 desk lights controlled by a switchlinc and a lamplinc. When I am working, I want all six lights to be on 100% and the Hue bulbs to be white. When I am watching TV, I want the Hue lights to be 20% and blue.
Using a RecRoom ON action group, I can turn turn on all lights to 100%; using RecRoom TV, I can recall a Hue scene that turns the lights on 20% blue; using RecRoom OFF, I can turn off all lights. In other words, I can do everything I want by going to Action Groups, and picking the right group.
I want to be able to include this functionality on my control page that has a number of toggle switches that display the status of a group of lights, and then toggle that group on and off. Sounds like it would be easy, but I haven't been able to do it.
With all my other toggle switches that just use Insteon lights, I use a Device Group; specify the lights, and then in the control page use a server action of Toggle. However, if I use a Device Group for this application and include my Hue lights, it will recall the last state of the Hue lights. Thus, if I had the lights on for work (white 100%), and toggle the RecRoom TV action group, the Hue lights come on white.
Alternatively, i tried creating a Virtual On/Off device. This way I can use a specified action group that forces the white v. blue, BUT I cannot toggle a Virtual On/Off group in the control page.
I hope I've explained this clearly. Is there any way to have a server action in a control page that will toggle these lights, for instance, by defining one action group for the ON action and another for the OFF action?
Any help is appreciated!
