I've now got most things working up to a point.
The dimmers Default and Current Levels are now set to 100%, when I simulate presence in the room all lights show as on and 100% which is what I want. When I clear the occupancy, after 10 seconds (I've changed the timeout), all three revert to light off and showing the dimmer off levels being sent by the API code.
The thing that I don't understand is, if the lights are off, how do I get light out of them at the dimmer off level? I'm obviously missing something fundamental in my understanding.
Also, if I do all this, not that I know how yet:-
does it mean that I would have to 'manually' turn everything back on for the Automation to work, say, the next day?
I'm sure I'll get there in the end !!!!
PS I'm on the verge of ordering my full version of Cortex and first batch of hardware to to get my first room up and running as all the cabling is now nearly done in the new extension.
