One of the features of Node-RED logic is using a toggle button and sensor. The lighting turns on when the button is pressed. When a sensor stops detecting the presence the lighting turns off. Use this flow if you have one button to turn the light on and off (toggle button mode).
| Info |
|---|
You avoid pressing the button twice to turn the light on and there is no need to turn it off. |

Instructions
Find the following nodes in the Node-RED palette:
DALI2 Devs Common x2
Vertex action x2
Vertex cluster
Vertex feedback
2. In the Toggle button node select the right DALI-2 device in the Devicefield and set Event filters as follows:
3. In the DALI-2 multisensor node select the right DALI-2 device in the Devicefield and fill times for your setup.
4. Go to the Vertex action(ON/OFF node)and select the correct group.
5. Select the same group in the second Vertex action (Motion Sensor node)and choose actions as follows:
6. Go to the Vertex feedbacknode and select the same group as in the previous steps.
| Note |
|---|
Vertex feedback will work only if values in “Event On” actions are equal for both Vertex action nodes. For example the button sets the brightness to 100% and Motion Sensor does the same. |
What can I modify?
Brightness levels - remember that the brightness levels on “Event ON” must be the same for both Vertex action nodes!
Change the presence and transition times in the DALI-2 multisensor node.
