Memories
The Chilli Master Controller can be
used to programme up to 12 memories
for each of the areas.
A memory is programmed by grabbing
the appropriate output levels on each
networked dimmer and storing the
values in the dimmers themselves.
The memories can then be played
back on an area basis, when required,
from the Master Controller.

Memories

top level options menu:
