Main menu: controls
The main screen now shows all the rooms and devices you have added.
Control devices directly with your computer
If you have programmed the receiver(s) correctly (see p. 11), you can select and control each receiver directly from
the main screen:
The dim value and +/- buttons can only be used for dimmer receivers. The dim value button allows you to send a
preset light level (1 to 16) to a dimmer receiver, which enables you to adjust the brightness of a lamp. For regular
receivers, you can use on and o to switch a device on or o.
Use timer settings to carry out commands
There are 2 ways to program commands with a timer:
1. Use the‘timer’menu to add a timer to a single device.
2. Create a scene (= several devices, each with their own command: on/o/dim value) and add a timer to that
scene.
Both options will be explained later on in this manual.
