    I have two requests in ToolKit.

    When a scene is assigned to a button, LED can be assigned Always ON or Always OFF.
    Unless LED lights up, when which button is pushed, it cannot impress which scene was chosen.
    Is it possible bright LED after pushing a button for 1 second ? :)

    I usuallv make ROOM-OFF scene. By mistake, LED is always ON in blue so that it may not push.
    It may still make a mistake and may push.
    Can't it make it possible whether to assign Scene only to Long Press and Long Release of Key Functions? :) :)

    Regards,
    Yoshi

    Good point about long press, etc. It will go on the list for the future.

    Most things you want to do with scene indicators can be done using Neo, Saturn, Reflection and DLT key units, except pulsing the LED for setting a scene. But these new units do set the LED on properly and turn it off when the groups in the scene change, or when another scene gets set. See here: http://www.cbusforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=439

    The older white plastic (2000 series) key units cant do this... yet. An update is being planned that will make this series work the same as all the others. Release is some time away though.

    Can't wait! I've got slimline 2000's throughout. Don't like the look of the Neo, and although the saturns look great, they were too expensive for my budget, and didn't really suit the rest of the house decor.

    All Off House

    Hello Ashleigh,

    Thank you very much for your reply.;)
    I made same functionality to use Trigger on Long Press key.
    But scene should be stored in CTC, TC and PAC.
    It is not so good. Because if trouble occur on those unit, customer will not be able to turn off room lights.

    I made delay ALL-HOUSE-OFF to use DLT and CTC.

    Key Functions
    Short Press OFF key
    Short Release Idle
    Long Press Toggle
    Long Release Retrigger Timer

    Blocks
    Application Secondary (Trigger Control)
    Group ALL_OFF (Trigger Group)
    Recall Levels Recall 1 (Action selector of ALL_OFF)
    Timer 0h0m30s (Delay for ALL_OFF)
    Expiry Recall 1

    If customer press the button longer.
    LED start blinking it shows starting timer.
    After 30sec, ALL_OFF scene is kicked by trigger command.
    If customer want to cancel the timer, short press the key is only action.

    If Area Address is arranged for all output units.
    It is the same effectiveness to use below configuration.

    Application Primary (Lighting)
    Group ALL_OFF (Area Address)
    Timer 0h0m30s (Delay for ALL_OFF)
    Expiry Off Key


    Please ignore, if this is a setup already known.:D

    Regards,

    Yoshihisa Abe
