Event Trigger

[rika]

If we could trigger an event with another event then we could make a more complex event manager. (Not just the "run event" witch also is useful)
Let’s say we make an event "play selected movie" and are able to set some id for this event like "play_movie" to use as trigger.
Then if we have an event like "dim light" we could just set the trigger "play_movie" to run this event. (Same as we can do with "run event")
Now, if we also could have different event id for different states of the event like ON and OFF then we have more functions.
And also multi event trigger id. Two or more events as triggers with the option to set "run one as trigger" or "All must run before trigger", this option gives us les trigger events to make
and more possibilities.
Some thing like this for event trigger:


Another great thing would be that you could combine old products with new one in the future. A cheap X10 control could trigger an advanced KNX scenario.
As any event you could make in xlobby could trigger another...
And it would also solve THIS

Glad someone else is thinking about these types of features. Steven and I have been talking about these same ideas lately. We will discuss your post. Your right this will save time and provide a new set of tools.

Thanks for your suggestion and time to post it.

What would be great is the functions IF, AND, OR on the trigger side.

This type of Boolean logic is definately on our list.
