    Hey guys,

    Posted this in ToolKit but didn't hear anything. Can anyone here help?

    I'm really new to this, and I'm currently programming my wireless switches through the wireless gateway (and 5500PC). I've pretty much finished everything, except one problem... using a single button on a wireless saturn to turn my balcony on/off. That part works fine - but I want to be able to hold the button to ramp the light up and down. I can't for the life of me work it out. I'm using the latest ToolKit. I've worked out scenes, etc... but what do I put in the "Key Functions" section, what do I put in Short Press, Short Release, Long Press, Long Release, Double Press? At the moment I have "Toggle" in Short Press - and nothing else. I've mucked around with other options but just can't do it! I know this is basic, but how do I do it?

    Also, at my front door, I have a saturn wireless with an "Off" scene button for the front door area... that works fine, but can I have a double press as a "Master Off" button? I've got a scene saved in the switch to set every group address to 0%... but I'm having trouble putting the scene under "Double Press" - any advice there?

    Thanks!!!!

    Damien.

    For a toggle dimmer, in the top section in Toolkit (not the bottom / advanced section), select the key function you want as "Toggle Dim Up cycle" or "Toggle Dim Dn Cycle". I think those are the names, either that or "Dim Toggle Up Cycle", etc.

    This will give you a toggle on press/release, and a dim up & cycle or dim down & cycle on a press-and-hold.

    The cycle bit refers to a subsequent long press cycling the dimming direction - do you get a dim up, then down, then up, then down, etc.

    And before you worry about that, the last known dimming direction is held for 15 seconds before reverting to the default direction as specified in the function name.
