Commander

Introduction

The Commanders feature allows you to send multiple lighting and control commands in a sequence, which can be set to execute once, repeat multiple times, or run until manually stopped. Commanders can be activated through various triggers, including schedules, a DALI-2 button, BACnet, or a web interface, giving you flexible control options.

Overview

Each Commander is capable of executing a range of commands, including adjusting light intensity, recalling specific scenes, changing color, enabling or disabling DALI-2 sensors and buttons, and controlling Room Light Control settings like daylight harvesting and Occupied Mode. They can also be used to activate or deactivate schedules, and even to trigger other Commanders.

The system supports up to 64 Commanders, each of which can execute up to 12 commands. With the ability for Commanders to activate one another, command sequences can extend beyond this limit.

Configurable parameters include the Commander's name, limited to 16 characters, the execute count to define how many times it runs, and a sequence of steps. Each step specifies a destination type, such as lighting groups, channels, input devices, Room Light Control, schedules, or other Commanders.

Additional settings include Fade Time for smooth light transitions and Delay, in seconds, to set pauses between commands. This setup provides automated control over complex lighting configurations.
