    Hello Again,

    I have a network set up with multiple Saturn DLT in the same room, the Saturns do the same thing but at different locations, the switching works as I want except if I switch on "scene A" on switch 2 it does not indicate that "scene A" is selected on switch 1.

    Is there a way of linking or sychronising the switches and the indicators so that each switch indicates the current setting?

    If you define the scene on one of the keypads (say Switch 1), pay attention to your Trigger Group and Action Selector.

    To trigger that same scene from Switch 2, you don't need to define that scene again, just simply trigger the scene from Switch 1. In other words, when you configure the button on Switch 2, set the function to Scene, then just simply assign the Trigger Group and Action Selector that you associated with the scene when you created it on Switch 1. Make sure that you don't put the same Lighting Group Addresses in the scene when you program it on Switch 2.

    Now, you are just triggering the scene from Switch 2, and since the LED's on the keypads will follow the Action Selector, your LED's should always match up.

    Hope that helps. . .

    As Wire-Bug says... don't define the scene twice (in each unit).

    Define the scene in one unit only. Make sure you allocate a Trigger Group and Action Selector for that scene.

    Then in the other unit, make an EMPTY SCENE (or a Remote Scene Trigger depending on the unit), using the same Trigger Group and Action selector.

    That should be all you need.

    See http://www.cbusforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=439 for the general tutorial on scenes.
