Delay after button off

[schneeflocke]

Hi QLC Community

Is there a way to delay a scene for example after is has been deactivated. I not mean a fade out, i mean a real delay.
The reason is that i want to use QLC+ as a remote for Enttec ELM. The problem there is that you need to activate a stage there with DMX signal of 255. After you can set the Intensity of the Stage as well up to 255. Works, no Problem.

But if i deactivate the stage i also want to set the intensity to 0. But i only can send both signals at the same time and and this results in a deactivated stage and its not possible any more to set the intensity to 0.
The Solution would be to delay the Stage deactivation by a few ms to give ELM time to set intensity to 0.

I tried with the fade out, but this does not work as ELM is setting the stage activated by 255. 254 mean not activated. So fade out is not an option.

Any ideas how this could be solved?

Thanks

So I would do this using a quick chase.

• Create a Scene called 'deactivate stage' set dmx to 0
• Create a Scene called 'Dim Stage' set dmx to 0
• Create a chase named 'Deactivate/Dim Stage'
• Add the scenes in Dim and Deactivate order
• Set the timing between them as needed

Issue solved

FWIW you can add Chases to Collections and even other chases. I've done quite a bit of that.

Hi there

Thanks for the feedback. I solved it a bit another way. I just put on the dmx cannel for the stage activation a threshold in the cannel configuration.

So now i can use the fade as a delay function.

Thanks anyway for your help!
