    Hi,

    I've a client who wants his downlighters to always come on to 50% but then to be able to dim it up and down from an EDLT.

    I can do it with 1 button turning it onto 50% then another button to dim but can it all be done from 1?

    Thanks

    You should be able to use a scene widget to do this.

    Make a scene (in the eDLT) with the one (or more) group(s) in it which sets them to 50%.

    Select the Off & Ramp Down/On and Ramp Up key function.

    The Right button with set the scene (ie turn it on at 50%) with a short press and then dim up with a long press. The left key will turn the group(s) off with a short press and dim down with a long press.

    That's great thank you. The only thing it doesn't then do is have the percentage showing on the EDLT. Is that possible?

    No.

    The scene widget doesn't currently offer level as a status indication (generally the concept of the level of a scene doesn't really make sense).
