chudel Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello! I was curious how folks without 6- or multi-button keypads are managing their audio (mute/on/off/change playlist) and if any are doing it by "overloading" the regular light switch. For example, are folks that are doing this doing things like "double-tap toggles mute"? There are only so many options at play here and probably it's a bit much to remember that a triple-tap cycles through playlists, for example but a quick double-tap to mute, for example, is faster than loading the app on the mobile device (with it's forever settings/sync on app focus). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I've toyed with it. I'd use the bottom rocker. I find a double or triple tap on the top rocker will still turn the load/light on regardless, yet still will do whatever you have programmed for 2 or 3 taps. so bottom rocker double tap for mute, triple tap to cycle thru.

Thanks! If there is nothing playing and you double-tap (for un-mute) is the last audio source for the room a system variable or do you recommend setting this yourself? So I could do: double-tap: - IF playing AND mute -> UNMUTE - IF playing AND unmute -> MUTE - If NotPlaying -> Play_Last_Audio_Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have these set anymore. Slowly put in keypads. So single tap for me is starting music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have a few rooms equipped and programmed with mute, volume control and channel. The truth is we never use them. Audio is controlled from touch panels or our iPhones. If/when i make changes i will remove the buttons and clean up the wall switches. Just my 2 cents.
