Selecting the Scenes Menu

You can program lighting control to create special scenes that illuminate an area based on the time of day, such as dimming the lights with the click of the night light button.

You enable this feature using the Display object Scene Configuration page to drag and drop the available night light button to program the Touchscreen Display. You associate scenes with an application through a Script program. This Script program reads the Display object Selected scene property and then uses it to determine the levels and positions of lights and blinds, for example, along with other outputs such switching a projector on or off.

The SpaceLogic Sensor Display Scene Configuration page provides you with a series of icons and button identifiers to use when programming the Touchscreen Display model.

Figure: Scene configuration page

You use the cursor to hover over the Available Icons and identify each icon by name. You can then drag and drop an icon to assign one of the Button 1-8 locations on the SpaceLogic Sensor Display Model. For example, you may optionally use the night light icon to trigger a night scene with muted lighting in Button 1 . You would then enable that icon by choosing Scene slot 1 in the Buttons and Scene Configuration properties tab. Once you do so, Button 1 always occupies the same space on the screen for a given menu screen, such as the Front menu in the Touchscreen Display model. For more information, see SpaceLogic Sensor Touchscreen Display Model .

Note:

The Display object Button and Scene Configuration properties tab includes the same Available Icons and Scene button 1-8 IDs that display on this page. In the case of the icons, they are identified by name rather than by displaying an icon, however. For more information, see SpaceLogic Sensor Display Properties - Button and Scene Configuration Tab .

Button Assignments

You not only assign Button 1-8 on the page with an icon from the available range of icons, you also assign a scene button identifier which is a number used to tell the application what the scene should do. For more information, see Configuring SpaceLogic Sensor Display Scenes .

You can also configure the Front (Main) and Functions menu screens in the Touchscreen Display model. However, you cannot configure them as completely as you can here on the Scene Configuration page. While the Touchscreen Display menu screens allow you to assign a function to a button, the function includes an icon and the icon is not a separate configuration. For instance, the function is setpoint and always includes the setpoint icon.

Scene Selection

You can add scene selection to both the Front (Main) and Functions menu screens in the Touchscreen Display model. However, the Front and/or Functions menu buttons are still allocated a shortcut that points to Buttons 1-8. This shortcut displays the scene icon to which it points. In this way, the buttons on those pages become proxies for the scene you configure in the Display object Scene Configuration page. For more information, see Selecting the Scenes Menu .

Consider the following example for a Front menu screen with 4 buttons:

  • You configure Button 1 with the Change Setpoint function, which has both an implicit function and an implicit icon.

    By selecting the icon in this button, you access the setpoint page where the occupant can change the setpoint. For more information, see Changing the Temperature Setpoint .

  • You configure Button 2 with the Scene button 3 function, which effectively references the configuration of the scene button on the Scene Configuration page.

    That is, the icon shown in Button 2 of the Front menu page mirrors that of scene button 3 configuration. By pressing the icon in button 2 of the Front menu page, you trigger the scene configured in the scene button trigger (scene function).

In the SpaceLogic Sensor Display object, the Selected scene property displays the scene identifier corresponding to the user's scene button press. The control application binds to this property, so the SpaceLogic Sensor button can act as an application input. For more information, see SpaceLogic Sensor Display Scene Configuration .

You associate scenes with an application by using a Script program that reads the Selected scene property and then uses it to determine the levels and positions of the lights and blinds, for example, along with any other outputs such as switching a projector on or off.

The following sample program uses the scene identifier in the Selected scene property to establish the lighting level, projector setting, and blind position for a series of scenarios or modes. These scenarios include items like presentation, maximum illumination, and normal occupation modes, nap time, movie night, and turning everything off.

To select the scenes menu
  1. In the Front menu screen of the SpaceLogic Sensor Touchscreen Display model, click the menu button

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke
    to view the Functions menu. In this example, the button for the scenes menu is located on that menu screen.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke
  2. In the Functions menu screen, access the scenes menu by clicking the button.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke
  3. In the Scenes submenu, click the button to initiate a series of specific, predefined actions to occur with a single button click, such as the following actions:

    • Choosing Presentation mode to turn on a projector

    • Choosing energy saving

    • Specifying a perimeter

    • Selecting a meeting

    • Selecting occupied or unoccupied modes

    The Selected scene property shows the scene identifier corresponding to your scene button click. The control application binds to this property, so the SpaceLogic Sensor button can act as an application input.
