N8Ball Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'd like to be able to control the dimming up and down of my Wireless Outlet Dimmer LOZ-5D1-WH in small increments using my 260. I was thinking about using 2 of the red, green, blue, yellow buttons so that when you click it, it would go up from 0% -> 5% -> 10% -> 15% etc. I can't figure it out, and would like to hear from anyone on what/how they did it...or would do it? Programming specifics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Uhm. Any reason why you can't use the built in options? Press and hold select to toggle dim - or if you prefer, highlight the desired light, and pres 0 for 0%/100% 1 for 10%, 2 for 20%.......etc? do you really need the 5% step? Ye, this works for all C4 lighting (well dimmers) - also works for Hue lighting and many other 3rd party lighting.... That said as above, you can program a button to increment a light at 'x' level. go to the light's device variables (press those + signs!), find the LIGHT_LEVEL variable and.... WHEN [button] is pressed [room]->[light]->LIGHT_LEVEL = [room]->[light]->LIGHT_LEVEL + [x] yeah it's a long string there but it basically just means you'll increase the light's % by the number [x]. Obviously use "- [x]" to lower it on the second button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.patel Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You could do it by programming the button to trigger the light level variable to "+ 5 or -5" on each button press. But maybe I can suggest an alternative. I have my wireless dimmer set to custom button 3 and have a series of if commands to cycle from 0-25-50-75-100. Basically, your if statement has to follow the pattern of "if light level = 0, then ramp load to 25, if light level = 25, ramp up to 50 etc etc....ending with if light level = 100, ramp down to zero to cycle back to the beginning. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
