Button Programming Overview
Rooms and Scenes Overview
What is a Room Button?
A Room button is used to monitor the On/Off status of a light or group of lights. For instance, in the Family Room, the
Recessed Lights, Wall Sconces, and Accent Lights make up all the lights in the room. Assigning all of those lights to one but-
ton would allow the monitoring of all those lights. If any of the lights are On, the Room button's LED will be ON. Pressing the
button will turn all of the lights in the room off. If all of the lights in the Family Room are Off, the LED will be off. Pressing the
button will turn all of the lights in the room on to their pre-selected level.
What is a Scene Button?
A Scene button is used to create a mood or emotion in a room. In a Family Room, a couple common scenes are watch "TV"
and watch a "Movie." Pressing a Scene button sets the mood by setting all assigned Dimmers to their pre-selected level. A
Scene button's LED on a Master Control will be on if, and only if, that Scene button was pressed on that Master Control. So,
when a Scene button is pressed from a Master Control, the assigned lights will go to their pre-selected level (including Off)
and the Scene button's LED will turn on. Pressing the Scene button again will turn all of the lights assigned to that button off.
A Scene button's LED will remain on as long as all of the assigned lights are still at their pre-selected level. If a light changes
level, either from another Master Control button or via local control, the Scene button's LED will turn OFF.
ROOMS and SCENES Examples
Initially, all of the lights are OFF. Our ROOM button, called Family, is off because
all of the lights in the Room are OFF. Our two SCENE buttons, TV and Movie, are
off because the lights are not at the pre-selected levels for those SCENES.
Pressing the Family button turns ON all of the lights assigned to the button. The
Family LED turns ON because atleast one of the lights in the room is on.
Pressing the TV button sets the mood for watching TV. In this SCENE, all of the
lights in the room at set to 50%. Since the TV button was pressed and the lights
are on at their pre-selected level, the TV LED turns ON. The Family LED remains
on because at least one of the lights in the ROOM is still ON.
Pressing the Movie button sets the mood for watching a movie. In this SCENE,
the recessed lights and wall sconces turn OFF and the Accent Lights turn On to
50%. The Movie SCENE is active so the Movie LED is ON. The lights are no
longer at their pre-selected level for watching TV so the TV SCENE turns OFF.
Like before, the Family LED is still ON because atleast one of the lights in the
ROOM is still ON.
Pressing the Movie button again will turn all of the lights in the ROOM OFF. The
lights are no longer at their pre-selected level for the Movie SCENE so the Movie
LED turns OFF. Since all of the lights in the ROOM are OFF, the Family LED turns
OFF.
Pressing the Movie SCENE will recall the lights to the Movie setting. As before,
the Movie and Family LEDs are ON.
Now the Recessed Lights have been turned on by pressing the button on the
Dimmer. The lights are no longer at their pre-selected level for the Movie SCENE
so the Movie LED turns OFF. The Family LED remains on because at least one of
the lights in the ROOM is still ON.
The Family LED indicates that atleast one of the lights ROOM is still ON. To turn
OFF all of the lights in the ROOM, press the Family button. With all of the lights in
the ROOM OFF, the Family LED turns OFF.
