DLT and EDLT owners

Doing little bit of reno and was thinking of moving my switches up from standard height to about
1800 of the floor to better see screen animation.
Would that be little unusual to use or if you decide to sell the house?
What do you guys think?
Cheers

Kids?
I'd always stick with standard, I had a standard rocker switch moved high temporarily and every time I walked into a room it was odd.

I dont have any DLT's, but have helped in a house that has them. Theirs are low and seem awkward to me. i installed all my switches at 1500 - not quite the height you are contemplating, but higher than the normal. I see all other houses an odd now.

The above mentioned house also has a LCD screen for teh A/C at the same height as the switch and I have to bend to read it properly (Contrast). Its really setup for short people and not taller (6') people whereas the 1500 I believe is a nice compromise.

 

I always put all C-Bus switches at 1450 high. Works for normal switches and DLT's/eDLTs too

 

Will probably go to 1500 same as my touchscreens.

 

I have decided that the next job that i do with DLT's that i will place all switches at 1300-if the owner/architect allows. Standard height of 1100 is way too low for any switch with a screen and very difficult to use.

 

Can I side track this thread a little bit - its a question for eDLT owners

I have had a comment made that the switches do not always work first time. I had noticed this when setting up - but I thought it was just me as I was only dealing with shutter controls on the eDLT and nothing else.

If I pressed a button to say open nothing would happen, pressing again and it would open. This was pretty consistent, but I just put it down to me not pressing correctly.

I have noticed this at two separate houses so its not just s single eDLT

 

Hi Mick
Do they have a selectable "ignore first press" or some night light setting like the Neo's?

 

As a builder i would be between 1300-50 for saturn switches (dlt/edlt too) and 1400-50 for the now defunct CTC.

Things that require a touch screen need at least 1400+

As always - depends on the client...

Hello Mick,

I have had the exact same thing on a recent job.
Was really annoying in not really resolving it as it generally worked every time, but did have its moments as you described. I.e. pressed a button to say open nothing would happen, pressing again and it would open.

Thank you Nick for the advice of adjusting the debounce time.
I will attend the customer over the next week or so, or when convenient with them and adjust this.
Will post my results after testing etc.

Cheers,
Philip

 

I am doing a commercial install of eDLT's and the height specified is 1500mm affl.

 

Hello All,

Just providing feedback regarding the eDLT switches sometimes not working especially with shutter controls.

I changed the debounce time to 50ms and definitely works really well now.
Every time the button is pressed it triggers the blind.

Thank you very much for feedback. Greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Philip
