How do I know when a light has been turned on from the switch?

Need Answer

I want to create some rules that change the way my motion controlled lights work. I've got the lights on a combination of Fibaro relays and dimmers, and I want to have them behave differently depending on whether they were activated by a motion sensor, or turned on using the hard wired switch.


I know it's probably possible to do this using the S2 input on the Fibaro modules, but for various reasons I don't want to do that.


Is there any way that the Zipabox can tell if the light was turned on locally?


Thanks!

Yes,


you can use variables in your rules. i.e. variable "motion" is set to 1 if it is triggered by motion sensor and 0 if by hand....
