Allow conditions to be accounted for on manual scene push
I spoke with Ryan about this one. My goal is to make a separate open and close button respectively for my garage so when i am away from home i can "close" or i can "open. And if door is already closed it wont simply open itself as is the nature of how garage door buttons work. The module only does power on/off and garage doors need an "on" signal sent then quickly set to off. So, I made an easy scene for this. However, I want a condition to check if door sensor is open/closed so i can make an open or close door button. As it was mentioned to me, when scene button is pressed it ignores conditions since it is a manual push. Being able to overrride this would be awesome and useful

This would be nice but we would need a way to turn this feature off as sometimes you want the scene to manually activate for testing purposes. I do have a solution to the issue you are having, through Tasker. It requires a good understanding of how to use variables, but you can create a task to check for the garage door sensor status and then apply that to an open and close task. Works perfectly as long as the sensor has registered the right info. :^)
