At the one-button dimming, the dimming process is executed by one single channel. So it is possible
to dim the lights via only one button.

switching.
The dimming direction is toggled by every keystroke, so if you have dimmed darker, the next time
will be dimmed brighter and vice versa.
The one-button dimmeing is a start stop dimming, that means when the dimming function is active a
darker or brighter command is sent until the button is released again. After releasing the button a
stop command is sent, which stops the dimming process. The dimming step is set fixed to 100%. So
with only one button activation the lights can be dimmed from 0% to 100% or from 100% to 0%.
