Premise UPB Handling a Double Click

I have some SAI UPB switches in my house and I am struggling to figure out how to handle an event.  Specifically, I would like to write a script when a doubleclick event occurs on the up button.  Can anyone help?
 
Thanks in advance.

Write a script where?
 
I've never heard of a UPB device that supports scripting.

Considering this is the Premise forum, I would guess a Premise script
 
I wish I had an answer for you...

I'm not a Premise user, so I can't address it from that standpoint, but a double click on a UPB device is really no different than a single click - they both transmit a link ID.  What you want to listen for is the link ID programmed to the switch for the double click action.

yes, I indeed meant a premise script.
 
JonW, thanks for that, I may have to poke around in the driver code to see if I can catch the linkid on the way in.
 
If anyone else could elaborate from a Premise prospective I would really appreaciate it.

After some more searching I came accross this: http://cocoontech.com/forums/topic/10009-transmitting-upb-links/?hl=+upb
seems like I can catch the button presses this way. 

I had completely forgotten that thread.  I still use a 4-button +paddle switch in the bedroom to trigger scenes.  Like the All-Off button.  The wife loves that one.  Go to bed, press the button.  Everything shuts off.

Sam, so you are using the logic diagram described in that thread?  I think it would work great for multi-button wall plates but doesn't help me for distinguishing between a click and a double click on a standard US11.
 
Any thoughts?

Yes I am.  If you recreate that bl;ock, you'll see (if I remember correctly) what codes are spit out of the switch for the different buttons.  I would think you would see a different code for single versus double click.  Haven't tried it.

And just to be clear, I am talking about the upbNetworkData field.  That changes depending on which button is pressed.  If you click the top and then the bottom, you will see 2 different codes there.  Then try a double click and see if it is different than the up click alone.

Unfortunatly no, the double click and single click networkdata is the same.  Looks like I may have to dig into the driver to get that kind of info.....

Shiny,
 
I had a similar issue, I ended up using what I call a "slow double tap".  Basically, I run Homeseer.  In there I have an event that captures a switch or link status SET.  Not a CHANGE.  Then, if you say, tap the switch OFF, wait 1-2 seconds for the link data to get transmitted, then tap OFF again, Homeseer catches BOTH and then executes what I want it to.  I choose a switch or link depending on if I want ALL switches on that link, or only 1 switch to be monitored.
 
I'd share the code, but think it might be useless for you (Homeseer uses VB).  If you want it, I'll post it.
 
Anyway, the logic is:
Create an event to capture the device to be monitored.
Have that event trigger a script call.
 
The monitor function script logic is:
 
if (is double tap) then
perform action
else
do something else, or nothing
end if
 
The Is double function logic is:
if(the variable does not exist)
set variable with now
return false
elseif(now is greater than 5 seconds past set time)
set variable with now
return false
else
return true
end if
 
 
So, this way, at the first call, you either SET the time or create a new variable to hold "now" and return false.  If the time is less than 5 seconds then assume you wanted a slow double tap.
I am working on a triple tap as well, but this is proving difficult as different vintages of switches respond differently...and right now, sometimes I have to triple tap to get a double tap function to work.  Might just be a bug in my actual code for all I know.

Click to expand...

Do you have the same link ID assigned to both single and double click in Upstart?
