    I have just been looking at Clipsal here in the US and I was wondering what the term address means? "Maxium of 10 Addresses per button" Can clipsal do douple tap button press? First press loads go to 65%, second press within 3 seconds loads go to 95%?

    An address in the context you describe is a number given to a group lights and their corresponding switches so that they can be made to work together.

    Each button on a key unit can be given one address when operating in direct control of a group of lights, and the relays or dimmers physically connected to the lights are also given the same address.

    Buttons are not restricted to controlling a single address however, and when programmed to act as 'scene' buttons, a series of addresses and corresponding target levels can be assigned to a single button, The nominal limit for scenes is 10 addresses per button, although it is possible for scene buttons to 'share' a total maximum of 40 addresses within a unit, so you can get more if you want.

    A 'double-click' can not be used to control an address with the basic units available.
