I my sound a little stupid but i have read every help file i could find but still do not understand. I am trying to get my touchscreen to display the labels from the fan controllers using one button to cycle though. I have now spent about 4 hour trying Any help would be much appreciated.

C-touch black and white mark 2 and a L5501RFCP fan controller thanks

Hi,

Sorry - the C-Touch#2 does not support receiving of labels! It can only send them.

If your CT#2 has logic, a (messy but) possible work around would be to:
1. Set up your fan controller as a Master with a Lighting Group specified. This will make the Fan Controller set the lighting group to 0%/33%/67%/100% as it cycles through the speeds.
2. Use logic to monitor the level of the lighting group and change a System IO String when the level changes.
3. Display the System IO string in your project.

Hope that helps!

You can display labels by using 3 separate Text Buttons (Low,Med,High) linked to the Fan Group, and Key Function as Status.

In Visual Properties, Text, use Text & Font Status Indication and have the Text only display when Active.

On the Status Tab choose C-Bus Level, Custom Levels and for the Low Text Button set Minimum to 1 and Maximum to 86, for the Medium button set Minimum to 87 and Maximum to 170, for High set Minimum to 171 and Maximum to 255.

[previously you could make the buttons with no background and sit them on top of each other, but this part doesnt seem to work anymore]
