Shade Toggle/Single Button

 

Hi All,
Just wanting to get others' input on this.
I have a project where I have a single button on lighting keypads for toggling Crestron shades 'Open-Stop-Close-Stop'.
I was going to build the logic myself, but Eric Lukhart kindly built and posted one in the files section (Thanks Eric!). See link below...
In looking at the module, it is built specifically to control a single shade, based on real feedback that the Crestron shades nicely provide...
I need the button to control groups of shades (2-5) at a time, which creates a possible issue when individual shades are at different levels and/or have previously raised or lowered before the toggle button would try to control the group.
?
I have some ideas, but thought i'd reach out to the group to see if others have done this to see what they've learned...
TIA!

For Crestron shades, or others with accurate feedback available, I use a similar module. When using it with a group of shades, I simply use the feedback of ONE shade, then connect the Open, Close, Stop outputs to all the shades in the group.

I realize it's only really tracking one shade, and multiples could "theoretically" get out of sync, but I've literally done this over a hundred times without any issues.

I also have another module that doesn't use true feedback to determine the toggle function. Instead it has parameters for the length of time required for the shade to travel from top to bottom, so pressing the toggle input while it's "moving" cause a stop command. I thought it was already in the Files section, but I'll post it.

Thanks, Tony!
I am also, for the first time, Looking at the Shade Group extender. I'm wondering if that might be a good way to do this (I'll be trying this soon).
It looks like you can send the group to a level (0% or 100% in this case) with a O/C/S. The logic around this would have to assume the last direction though you could use one of the shades as a 'master', as you'd mentioned...
