    You can do it either by using a scene or turning off an area group.

    I turn off the area group in my instance

    Hi jason

    Just to add a little more to the previous comment you can use the area address feature but this can become a problem if you dont want to switch off all channels of the relay and or dimmer, using scenes is a much cleaner way and if you have logic you can create some simple "set scene" commands wich can trigger scenes and delays to give you a "goodnight scene" slowly ramping down the lights....obviously in a DLT you are to an extent limited on how many groups you can add to 1 scene so you can create scenes on different switches around the home and trigger them all from 1 button using trigger control. if you have a touchscreen then all this can be stored on it.

    Delayed ALL OFF

    I made a Delayed ALL OFF configuration for my customer.

    Touch Panel or PAC configuration
    Create ALL OFF scene in Touch Panel or PAC.
    To arrange Trigger group ALL_OFF and Action Selector 1 for the scene.

    DLT configuration
    Secondary Application is Trigger Control.
    Select a Secondary Application in your ALL OFF key.
    Select an ALL_OFF group and Action Selector 1.
    Check Key Functions Tab and change configuration.
    Short Press Recall1 -> Off Key
    Short Release Idle -> Idle
    Long Press Idle -> Toggle
    Long Release Idle -> Retrigger Timer
    Check Block Tab and change configuration.
    Timer 1 -> 30s

    If you want to turn off all lights, You press the key in long.
    You can check the flashing LED. It shows timer is working for all off.
    If you want to cancel the all off, you can press the key in short.

    I think, ALL_OFF key should not arrange a Short Key press.
    It makes dark house in missing operation.

    Thanks,
    Yoshi:)

    As I do with the area - it ramps off slowly ensuring all lights in the house are off.

    The alarm also ramps the area off when I leave, allowing me to exit the property with the lights on. It is also a good way of ensuring you have not left any lights on.
