To create an actuator please select the housecode and the channel, for example A-1,
then press
Add
. In the table the actuator appears as
Actuator 1
at first. It is
recommended to overwrite this by a meaningful description like
Lamp sideboard
. In
the right column you have the possibility to select if the actuator is a switch or a
dimmer. This selection decides which commands are offered for this actuator later. All
parameters, the description, the system and the type can be changed any time by
clicking on it.
If the actuator has the ability to learn its address instead of adjusting rotary switches,
then the option
Actuator is code learning
should be checked. In this case the Light-
Manager uses a new transmission protocol which has two advantages: First a 24 bit
housecode is used, which offers enhanced security against unauthorized control.
Second certain actuators, like the micro module, which offer a dimming function, can
be controlled in percentage steps. This feature is perfect for the creation of appealing
light scenes.
If no housecode is selected (
-/-
chosen from the list) the Light-Manager will send the
associated commands to the currently active actuator. This can be the actuator which
has been selected before by the action
Select
. This way of operation makes it
possible to choose the desired actuator from the display of your remote control while
8
you turn it on and off by hard buttons e.g. the up/down buttons. This reduces the
number of buttons needed in total and increases the comfort of operation
When you have added all actuators close the window by pressing
OK
please. The field
Select actuator
lists all actuators defined before. The corresponding selection of
available actions will be displayed below.
