I was reading the manual for the programming remote and this controller and am confused...
the remote manual states the following:
"Next you must associate your device(s) to
a controller button used to execute a group
ON/OFF or Scene. If your device is part of
all your group ON/OFF or scene buttons
you will have to associate your device to all
buttons on your Scene or Zone controller."
and later on:
"Press and hold scene button 1 on the
scene controller until the LED blinks green.
Next locate each dimmer/switch/plug-in
that you have associated with scene one
(button 1) [Note: this could be individual
devices or a pre-configured Area] and
set each device to a desired light level."
The first seems to imply that each button on the 4-button scene controllers must refere to the same devices, the second seems to state that each button can refer to different devices.
In short, i have two types of desires for scenes:
1) all four button refer to nodes in a single area but have them stored at different levels - i.e. 4 scenes for my master bathroom wil all lights stores at some level in all 4 scenes - off and three other levels/moods (not an issue here and is insync with the classic scene usage / examples from leviton)
2) i want some controllers (front door / kitchen) to control close by zones/areas (i.e. outdoor lighting) but also allow a dedicated button i can use for general interior lighting upon entry / exit. I.e. button 4 i want to be a general scene with most lights in the house "all on" when i enter, and easy "all off" function when i leave. But buttons 1-3 on the kitchen will truly control scenes in the kitchen/nook area. This is where i differ from the Levton examples given in their training, etc...
What i don't want to have happen is to turn on scene 1 and have it dim devices outside the kithcen becaause they are included in scene 4...
Hope this makes sense...
thx
