Table 50: Settings - Dimming
If a button is parameterized as a dimming function, this button shows 2 communication objects, on
the one hand the function for the short keystroke, the switching object "dimming on/off", and on the
other hand the function for the long keystroke, the dimming object "dimming".
The two-button function "dimming" can be parameterized either as brighter/darker or as
darker/brighter. The following table shows the relationships:

Table 51: Two-button function - Dimming
With the one-button function "dimming", the direction (brighter/darker) is reversed as a function of
the communication object "value for toggle". The dimming function is a start-stop dimming, that
means as soon as the dimming function becomes active, a light or dark command is assigned to the
input until it is released. After releasing, a stop telegram is sent which terminates the dimming
process.
The following table shows the available communication objects:
