SpencerT Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I have a 2 part question. And I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so I apologize. 1: On a keypad dimmer, how do you get a connected lod button (toggle load) to utilize hold to ramp / fade? I'm assuming I can't do it because I'm toggling the load. Click once, on, Click again, off. Hold - does nothing. Which seems obvious but kind of weird at the same time since the UI lets me dim the connected load with no programming. Which leads to my second question: 2: How do you program against ALS to allow ramp / fade? Without a binding? Most (I think all) of my keypads are on bindings for lighting scenes, but I have a bad habit of playing around once I install a new keypad until I decide how I want everything to work (before bindings).

Cyknight Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 1. could be that the led settings for the unit are set oddly, ie blue for both on and off, or in your playing around you manually set the led behaviour to somthing different than 'follow load' (or if a bound keypad button 'follow connection') Yes you COULD have a button on a KPD toggle the actual load, and set the LED separately. This behaviour option is settable in HE AFAIK. msgreenf and SpencerT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpencerT Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Thank you. I double checked this, and it's set correctly. I'll have my dealer look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 On your point 2 you can program this (and I have done it) using the on press and on release events but it is messy to do and definitely not recommended! Despite having done it myself, I would go as far as to say it was a stupid idea and I shouldn’t have done it. Getting a dealer to do the binding is a much better option!

SpencerT Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 Thank you, and agreed on the bindings. I get them all bound eventually, just usually takes a few days (or weeks) of living with it to decide what we want where before I bug my dealer to lock it in. I actually started down the press and release path as a test and quickly realized it wasn't a great idea lol. South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
