How to deactivate switch when another one is selected?

Post by alexp »

Please check attached screenshot. Why do I have 4 switches selected? I would like to change this setting, so that when I click on a scene in that group, the previous screen would become unselected. How do I do this?

Hi,

I'm surprised... by default the "Position" compression don't allow multiple switches being selected at the same time. You have probably changed some properties... or use a very old version. Stay updated...

So, first you have to check that each switch of the "Position" compression is on "LTP" mode and "Auto release" is checked.
(Shift right click on the switch -> Settings -> Switch menu).

When all switches are done, you can force the compression to release other switches:
In "Compression settings" of the "Page" (Menu upper right -> down arrow -> Settings compression), select the "Position" compression and check "Only one switch is on" in "Button type" on the right.

These parameters are available only on the latest version of sunlite suite 2 that you can download.

Hi,

To understand more easily why you have several button activated in once, it is because you are affecting not exactly the same channel in the buttons.

For example:

Button 1 activate channel 1
Button 2 activate channel 1
Button 3 activate channel 1 & 2
Button 4 activate channel 2 & 3

If you engaged:

Button 1 => Button 1 activated
Then engaged Button 2 => Only Button 2 activated (button 1 is deactivated)
Then engaged Button 3 => Only Button 3 activated (button 2 is deactivated)
Then engaged Button 1 again => Button 3 still activated (channel 2 is not part of Button 1) + Button 1 activated (but the value of channel 1 is the one set in Button 1)
Then engaged Button 4 => Button 1 & 3 still activated + Button 4 activated

Hope it will helps to understand how sunlite works with that.
