CONTENTS
1. INTRODUCTION
The Lighting receiver Variation io is a receiver equipped with io Radio Technology. It can be used to
control all types of light via a power supply (AC/DC) with 1-10V control (halogen lights, LEDs) from a
Somfy io local control point.
The Lighting receiver Variation io lets you vary the intensity of your lighting and save a favourite light
intensity called your favourite position: this favourite position can, for example, be set to a night-light
type lighting. The factory default setting for the favourite light intensity is 50% of maximum intensity.
With IP 55 protection rating, the Lighting Receiver Variation io is suitable for external use and so ideal
for controlling terrace lighting.
