Dimmable lamp with push button

Situation

In this step-by-step plan, a dimmable lamp for the parent's bedroom is programmed in the Niko Home Control software. 

Starting point

The starting point for this step-by-step guide is a project that already encompasses Project information and for which a plan is already drawn up or uploaded.

If you do not yet have a project, follow the steps in adding a new project and thereafter in drawing a plan or upload a background image.

Add a dimmable lamp

• Click Creation at the top of the screen.

• Click on add an output.
• Click on dimmable lamp in the selection list in the right-hand section of the screen. The output appears in the plan.
• Drag the dimmable lamp to the right place, and assign it a recognizable name.
• Select an existing location from the selection list, or click on add a location if the location has not previously been defined.

• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Add a single push button

• Click on add an input.
• Click on single push button in the list of options in the right-hand window. The icon appears on the plan.
• Drag the single push button to the correct location and give it a recognisable name.
• Choose an existing location from the list of options or click on add a location if you have not previously defined one.

• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Create a 'Dimming parent's bedroom' action

• Click on add an action. The action will appear as a text balloon on the plan.
• Drag the action to a logical and appropriate place, e.g. to the relevant input or output.
• Give the action a name.

You cannot couple this action to a touchscreen. A possible workaround is explained in this step-by-step guide.

• Select an existing location from the selection list, or click on add a location if the location has not previously been defined.

• Click on continue to go to the Players tab.
• Click on the dimmable lamp and the single push button in the plan to couple them to the action.   

• Click on continue to go to the Basic behaviour tab.
• Change the basic behaviour to predefined by clicking on the arrow in the frame of the drop-down list.

• A pop-up window will open.

• Click on OK to close the window.
• Click on continue to go to the Conditions tab.
• Click on continue to go to the Time automation tab.
• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Result

You can now continue with Cabinet set-up and Realisation.
