Operation of the push-button interface
Use of the action button(s)
Each generic action button can be programmed either to:
switch a light circuit
dim a dimmable light up or down, control a roll-down shutter or sun blind up or down (both in a single-button mode)
activate a routine, set a mood, or house status (these can be a combination of pre-programmed output settings)
Single-button mode behaviour for a dimming channel
Button | Behaviour |
|---|---|
Short press | Toggles the dimmed light device ON or OFF. Depending on the memory mode of the dimmer channel, the ON state amounts to 100% of the light output or equals the previous dimming value. |
Long press | Starts the dim-up or dim-down cycle of a dimmer channel, depending on the previous direction. |
Release | Stops the dim-up or dim-down cycle at a certain intermediate dimming percentage. |
Single-button mode behaviour for a motor channel
Button | Behaviour |
|---|---|
Short press | Switches the motor to the following states respectively: run-up – stop – run-down - stop. |
Long press | Starts the run-up or run-down cycle of a motor channel, depending on the previous running direction before the last stop. |
Release | Stops the run-up or run-down cycle at a certain intermediate percentage. |
Feedback LED (550-20025)
Depending on the type of action (basic action or routine) assigned to the push button, its feedback LED will indicate its linked function's (inverted) status, or it will be 'Always ON' or 'Always OFF'.
Using the programming software, the LED can be configured to reflect the desired feedback of an action, routine, or status. For more details, see Niko Home Control II programming software.
