    Default Door Mag Contact to Digi input - I'm going nuts!

    Hi Folks,

    After a while, I've finally got my bathroom 'finished' and the door on to play with the mag contact I've installed.

    I dry fitted this before I started the decoration stage and could've sworn I'd got it working, but now I can't seem to get Cortex to realise that the door is closed!?

    I only want it to be used to infer presence more accurately so the bathroom lights can delay switching off when I'm stood in the shower - nothing fancy.

    I've got a Mag contact connected to a digital input on my Lighting Dimmer, and using a multimeter I know that opening and closing the door does indeed open/close the contact - so I know there's no wiring issues on that front.

    I've setup the connection as I believe it should be - but the door Icon in Plan-view just doesn't alter it's image / state (I'm assuming it should appear as a "closed door" image when the door is closed!?) when I open & close the door.



    Can anyone offer any guidance on what I might be doing wrong?!

    Ok. Ignore me.

    I figured out that I'd connected the door object to the wrong digital input

    Connected to the 'other' digital input and bob's ya uncle . . .

    Sorry folks.
