Fan Speed Labels on C-Touch Mk2

Hi,

Sorry - the C-Touch#2 does not support receiving of labels! It can only send them.

If your CT#2 has logic, a (messy but) possible work around would be to:
1. Set up your fan controller as a Master with a Lighting Group specified. This will make the Fan Controller set the lighting group to 0%/33%/67%/100% as it cycles through the speeds.
2. Use logic to monitor the level of the lighting group and change a System IO String when the level changes.
3. Display the System IO string in your project.

Hope that helps!

thanks

Thanks for the help may try looking into the logic idear.

Thanks again

 

just to nit pick a little - but I think that is 34% not 33%

Correct.

 

Fan Speed Labels on C-Touch Mk2

You can display labels by using 3 separate Text Buttons (Low,Med,High) linked to the Fan Group, and Key Function as Status.

In Visual Properties, Text, use Text & Font Status Indication and have the Text only display when Active.

On the Status Tab choose C-Bus Level, Custom Levels and for the Low Text Button set Minimum to 1 and Maximum to 86, for the Medium button set Minimum to 87 and Maximum to 170, for High set Minimum to 171 and Maximum to 255.

[previously you could make the buttons with no background and sit them on top of each other, but this part doesnt seem to work anymore]
