NkySpike65 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 One of the many reasons I decided on C4 was the demo on the alarm system triggering and it going though a program "turning off the HVAC, turning on the lights, etc....Just go to 2:40 into the video and you will know what I mean.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtkaxPxat_o&feature=relatedWhat I am trying to do is have the outside lights (Front Porch & Back Deck) dim up and down repeatedly until I disarm the alarm....I was thinking about have them dim up & down between 25% & 100%..... Not to dark that at times you can't see where you are going, but enough to get attention from people...This is what I have set up so far.....Any info would be great.....Thanks David..._____________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Willis Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Wouldn't you rather just have them go on/off outside instead of dimming on/off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NkySpike65 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not wanting a strobe effect...... If coming out of a smokey house in the middle of the night ( yourself, family members, or even visiting guest ) already in a panic mod having to pace yourself by waiting for the light to come back on to see were your going, not good....Even a chance of blowing bulbs while trying to see were you are going.... Turning the bulbs on one second then off the next second, in one minute you turn lights off & on 30 times, 5 min = 150 times, 30 min = 900 times, hoping fire truck will be there in an half an hour....I think it would be better even at night to have a full to a mid low amount of light, then full on and off in that type of situation....

Turning the bulbs on one second then off the next second, in one minute you turn lights off & on 30 times, 5 min = 150 times, 30 min = 900 times,It won't be exactly 1Hz- the controller is being doing other things. Not that it really matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
