Creating Scenes

makes it easy to set up scenes. Scenes activate a certain set of modules together,
with each module changing to its own preset level. An example of this is “movie mode”, where
the living room lights dim to the oFF position, the living room blinds close, and the kitchen light
turns on to 20% for a bit of background light. other popular scenes include “romantic”, “dinner
time”, etc. Be creative!

modules in a scene can also be turned on or off in as a group. Note that turning
all the modules in a scene oN is different than activating the scene. Activating a scene causes
all of the modules in that scene go to their preset scene level. Turning a scene on will set all of
its modules to the full on level. The latter is very useful for turning on porch or holiday lights or
outdoor lighting at sunset, and turning them off again around midnight, as one example.
