switching

I have two switching questions
1 i walk into my bathroom and switchon the lights over near my vanity i can switch the wall lights fan and heat on or off but when i walk out i wish to switch all those that are on such as a master comand. but i dont wish to switch them all on from the first switch which is what is happening.

2 can i have the fan time on after the light is on for a period of time?

 

The first question is - what sort of switch plate do you have in the bathroom?.
Do you have a touch screen of any description ?
Do you have or are you considering adding a PAC controller at any time?

 

One possible way to do it...

1) Assume you have keys 1-3 doing lights, fan, heating respectively.

Set up a 4th key to use blocks 1,2,3 with function 'Off'.

You can turn on any number of the lights. fan, heating with keys 1-3, as you exit the bathroom, hit key 4 to turn everything off.

2) Set up lights = Group1 = Block1, Fan = Group2 = Block2.
Blocks:
Block1: Group 1: Recall1 = 100%, Timer = 0s, Expiry = Idle.
Block2: Group 2: Recall1 = 1%, Recall 2= 100%, Timer = (time taken for fan to come on), Expiry = Recall 2.

Have Key1 use both Block1 and Block 2.

Key Functions: Key1:
SP = Recall 1, SR = Retrigger Timer, LP = Off Key.

 

Phil i do not have either have considered buying one do you gat all the functionality of a PAC controller in a touch screen?

 

Question 2 is a run on timer and is covered in the manual.

Question 1 was answered above with the Off command for blocks 1,2 & 3.

The switch at the door is a single switch, which i wish to turn the lights on and off but also anything else off that is switched on via another switch?

 

One way to do it...(maybe)

Make Key1 use all 3 blocks

Put Light Timer to 1s and Recall to 100%.
Also if you want fan to come on after a period of time, can set Fan Timer and expiry to Recall

Set up key1 with Key Functions:
SP : Start
SR: Idle
LP: Off
LR: Idle

..or maybe switching SP and SR might be better...need to test it

 

The other option is to replace it with a 4 gang key input to gain better individual and overall control.
