    Hello all
    new to c-bus experience (I will be asking many questions no doubt very basic compared to what I have been reading) I want to use a 2 Gang Saturn input unit to activate all channels on an 8 channel dimmer to 100% at 2 second intervals. (all channels are controlling 12V light fittings)
    The second button needs to be an All Off buttong for all channels
    Seeking help and as much details as possible:rolleyes:

    You can set each key on the Saturn unit to affect all 8 "blocks" in the "blocks" tab in the Advanced view by ticking every box under "keys using block". Set the TIMER expiry in the "Blocks" tab to "Recall1", or "Recall2", or "RampRecall1" to suit, and store "100%" in the appropriate Recall level. Assign a unique group to each of the eight blocks. Set timer intervals to 2 seconds, 4, seconds, etc. through all blocks.

    Set the key function of the OFF key to OFF
    Set the ON key functions using the "key functions" tab to, Start, Idle, Idle, Idle for short press, short release, long press and long release, respectively.

    Set the dimmer channels to each of the 8 groups given to the Saturn unit blocks.

    Any help?
