12 Gruppen
Groups are used to collectively control (dimming, turning on and off, activating a scene) multiple devices.
The groups are arranged in a couple of simple steps in the AQStation App. Each group can have its timer
functions. Each device can be assigned to multiple groups.
The following groups are available:
On/Off Group
In the on/off group, multiple devices are turned on and off together. Dimmable (0% - 100%) and switchable
devices can be integrated into an on/off group. As an option, you can set automatic turn-off times for
individual devices in the group.
Dimmable Group
The dimmable group devices are controlled together. Dimmable devices can be assigned to this group.
Scene
In a scene, all values of the devices integrated into the scene can be recorded, accessed and re-
configured. Devices can be integrated into multiple scenes.
