Hi,
New OmniPro II user here with some entry level questions.
1. Certain items like UNITS have NAME and DESCRIPTION properties. Yet when displayed on the console the NAME is used, though there appears to be room to display more characters then allowed for the NAME. Sometimes it's tough to come up with a meaningful name in the 12 characters allowed for the name. Could not the DESCRIPTION have been displayed instead? Perhaps as an option?
2. Certain items like LINKS have fixed names. When accessing them from the console they cannot be scrolled through but must (it seems) be selected by entering the number. Why do these certain items NOT have user assignable names? Why is scrolling not allowed?
3. To my way of thinking UPB Links are the way UPB implements scenes yet SCENES and LINKS are separate items. Why is that?
4. UNITS are accessed through the CONTROL menu item (via the console), yet UPB LINKS are accessed through the ALL menu item. Since the same devices (say UPB dimmers) are being controlled, why the different menu items (CONTROL and ALL)? Clearly SCENES and LINKS are not going to always control all devices. It would seem to me that SCENES and LINKS could be just as at home under the CONTROL menu item.
Just curious as to the why of things.
Thanks much.
