Projector states feedback

  Can you show us how you are writing it? The Duet Module is just saying that if the channel is on, that is what state it's in. It's possible for the Lamp state to be on and the projector state may still be warning. You can be sure that if it is cooling the lamp state should be off but the Duet module is saying that Lamp State is actually projector power so the projector power state is on while cooling or warming. I guess you just have to try it out with a projector to see what actually happens with the lamp state.

  the thing is that i not sure how to use it so i have tried to write the code in different ways. Getting the states and use it as IF's
  
  one attempt:
  
  DEFINE_PROGRAM
  
  [vdvProj,253] = vProjWarming
  
  
  
  Another attempt:
  
  CHANNEL_EVENT[vdvProj,255]
  {
  ON:
  {
  vProjLampOn=1
  }
  OFF:
  {
  vProjLampOn=0
  }
  }
  CHANNEL_EVENT[vdvProj,253]
  {
  ON:
  {
  vProjWarming=1
  }
  OFF:
  {
  vProjWarming=0
  }
  }

  Here's a simplistic way of using the channels to track state. Is this what you're asking?
  

  DEFINE_DEVICE
  vdvProjector	= 41001:1:0
  
  DEFINE_VARIABLE
  INTEGER nProjectorStatus //0 = Off, 1 = On, 2 = Warming, 3 = Cooling
  
  
  DEFINE_FUNCTION fnUpdateProjectorStatus()
  {
    IF([vdvProjector,254]==1 AND [vdvProjector,255]==1)
    {	
  	 nProjectorStatus = 3
    }
  
    IF([vdvProjector,253]==1 AND [vdvProjector,255]==1)
    {	
  	 nProjectorStatus = 2
    }
    
    IF([vdvProjector,253]==0 AND [vdvProjector,254]==0 AND [vdvProjector,255]== 1)
    {	
  	 nProjectorStatus = 1
    }
    
    IF([vdvProjector,253]==0 AND [vdvProjector,254]==0 AND [vdvProjector,255]== 0)
    {	
  	 nProjectorStatus = 0
    }
  }
