For some odd reason that I don’t have a handle on yet, theButton value is sometimes sent as a string instead of a number, so you can’t compare it to a number. You can try doing this:


if theButton is equal to “1” then

and that will probably catch it, after you’ve verified that works I would actually do it like this:


if (theButton as number) is equal to 1 then

which will work in the future after I figure out why that is happening and fix it.

The on/off script will run normally with the reception of a single click, so you can just put your code there. However, they may be called more than once if the ramp rate is long enough that the Vera reports an interim value between the on and off. If you wish to have other things controlled by a single click of the paddle it would be better to put it into the centralScene handler unless it doesn’t matter if it’s triggered more than once.



Thanks,
