Configuring Bright/Dim Pushbuttons
The 6-Button Controllers have a vertical rocker button that is usually used
to brighten and dim a device or a scene. The vertical rocker button actually
has two pushbutton switches: one at the top referred to as UP and one at the
bottom referred to as DN (down). The two pushbuttons can be configured
to do anything that the other pushbuttons can do but they are usually used as
Bright and Dim pushbuttons. This chapter will explain the steps necessary
to configure the UP and DN pushbuttons as Bright and Dim pushbuttons.
Using The Last Link
For our example, we would like the UP and DN pushbuttons to brighten and
dim whatever group of devices was last activated. For example, let’s say
the Romance scene was just activated (by pressing the “B” pushbutton).
Then, by pressing and holding the UP pushbutton, the dimmable lights that
are part of the Romance scene will get brightened. This mechanism of
affecting the last group of devices that got activated is known as “Use Last
Link”.
