Wireless Unit Setup

Anyone point me to documentation on the relationship between ?key group? and ?output channel groups? and is mandatory in the switch setup.

Writing code to generate a wireless network from no C-Bus network and need to know the rules.

Dave,

The "output channel groups" are the outputs that the switchplate can drive. You will notice that if you have a one channel switchpate that you only have one "output channel groups".

Next, a "key group" is a group that the button can control like "dinning room".

In a stand alone wireless network a "key group" maps to a "ouput channel group".

Hope that helpped.

Val.

Toolkit will let you configure like this (image3) and Toolkit help file says
the output group should say dimmer or relay (image1)

Hi Dave,

The best way to understand this is to appreciate that a Wireless Unit is essentially an output unit AND an input unit combined.. so the GUI in toolkit is like combing a 2 Channel Relay and a Neo Unit...

The buttons on the Unit (the INPUT part of the Unit) dont necessarily need to control the channels on the unit (the OUTPUT part of the unit).. Your Image3 shows this setup.. the buttons NOT controlling the loads that are wired to the OUTPUT part of the unit.

 

Duncan,
So what my program has to do is, on pass one ? assign the output channels to loads, any switch with more than 2 gangs, check for 2/3 way connections thence shuffle the outputs till I can get all (or almost all) allocated to switches.
What?s left over will need more wiring work.

Then configure the gangs themselves in second pass.

Easy
