Currently the same smart switch device (Wi-Fi or Zigbee) cannot be included in the IF and THEN statements of a Scene. If it is included in the IF Statement then the device does not appear in the drop down menus for the Smart Devices in the THEN statement. From personal use I am aware of exceptions being 4CH switches and TH10/ TH16 switches.
I appreciate that this may be deliberate so as not to cause software loops.
BUT i feel there is a justifiable case to be able to include the same device in both IF and THEN statements when the IF statement is ‘All conditions met’ i.e. it is a Logic AND gate.
For example there may be several TRVZBs controlling a single switch so that when any TRVZB goes to ‘Heating’ the switch turns ON. If subsequently another TRVZB changes status from ‘Keeping’ to ‘Heating’ its scene will still run despite the switch being already ON--------- this is pretty pointless.
If the switch could be included in both IF and THEN statements:
IF
‘All Conditions met’
TRVZB= Heating
Switch= OFF
THEN
Switch > ON
It seems to be more logical for the scene to check the status of the target switch before running a scene to switch it to a status that it is already in.
