Mini-Remote Bright/Dim

[jgcharlotte]

So how do you get a LampLinc to brighten/dim on a RemoteLinc2 (8 scene configured as 4 on/off controls).  Not as a scene, just program control. On and off work fine, I can't get the LampLinc to brighten/dim with a continuous press of the appropriate button.  Monitoring in Admin Console shows the mini-remote varying %, but no effect on the lamp.  I tried all of the controls, fade up/down, bright/dim, etc.

Pressing a button on a Mini-Remote requires a Scene to alter the LampLinc.

 

Not clear what an ISY Program is attempting.

 

Can you post the Program

[jgcharlotte]

The first on, 'ON' works fine.

The second is one of the variations I tried to achieve dimming with a continuous press.

No luck.

Ok, thanks.

 

When a Mini-Remote On button is pressed and held the command sequence from the Mini-Remote starts with a Fade Up.

 

When the button is released a Fade Stop is issued.

An example Program would look like this

 

RL2-4-B - [iD 009F][Parent 0001]

 

If

        Control 'RL2-4 - A' is switched Fade Up

     Or Control 'RL2-4 - A' is not switched Fade Stop

 

Then

        Set 'LampLinc3' Fade Up

 

Else

        Set 'LampLinc3' Fade Stop

 

 

There are inherent issues with this.  The Program has a delay compared to a Scene.  This will make the LampLinc out of sync with the Mini-Remote On Level.

Sorry I did not put this in previous post.  A Mini-Remote does not have Bright/Dim buttons that raise or lower a small percent for each Bright/Dim button press.  See the Specs section on Smarthome site for possible commands.

 

Scene Commands Supported: On, Off, Begin Brightening, Begin Dimming, End Brightening, End Dimming, Fast On, Fast Off

Program makes sense.  I'll try it.
