How to trigger a Vera scene with a button in HR?

I learned in this forum that a scene from Vera can be triggered by clicking it in HR. Since no capabilities are defined in a scene, I would like to know how to trigger a scene with a button in HR?

I want to make one button to turn off all lights at once. I don’t want to click the scene-tile. I can create an event trigger and bind all related devices and set the values to “0”. But I’d rather create a scene in Vera that turns off all lights and activate that scene with a button in HR. This prevents all the devices’ text labels (@Device.Switch) showing “Unknown” for a short time in the related tiles.

Thanks!

You need a DataAction that is bound to @Device.Scene. The Value property can be left empty.

For this, you can actually look at the SceneTile.xaml file to see how it is triggering the scene. When you create a project file, the software gives you a collection of files in the Templates folder that are already configured.

Thanks again for your quick reply, is appreciated!
