There are two very similar threads here so sorry
to
mix the quotes but...I have been trying this recently too - and despite the
info
copied from the adjacent thread [UKHA Wandsworth switch pics up - dim
thread -
which controller] re LD11 documentation copied here ....posted by Keith
Baker..
(who appears very frustrated on finding this info
too...)
"The
LD11
also responds to professional X-10. Combined with the memory dim feature,
the
LD11 can change the room lighting instantly or progressively."
and
"Soft (fixed) start and stop with STANDARD X10 and programmable
start
and stop rates with PROFESSIONAL X10
protocol."
and
also this posting by David Anamudu in the Comfort Technical
newsgroup

David is now not able to repeat this and I have
been
unable to get anything working using any X10 commands (Homeseer /
Homevision /
ECS / Leopard etc) - My conclusion is that any go immediate to level
function or
any 'preset the level function (whilst turned off)' is not implemented.
Also any
change of ramp speed is not possible. I think the ramped change is
unavoidable.
Unless someone knows better.... Can anyone switch an LD11 ON instantly at a
set
brightness ?

Bummer. -
that'll
explain why I can't get it toi work then!
Oh well, I guess I'll have
o
do it like you say, - every day, I'll "reset" the dim level to 100% by
turning it on, setting the level, then turning it off again. I'll do it
as
part of my daily reset routine which runs at 05:30 every
morning.
This is for the bathroom lights, where there will be a
sensor
switch just inside the door for "normal" operation of the light, and
for
highest WAF, this should operate as normal as possible, i.e. come on at
100% brightness. However, I do intend to have some PIR activated
lighting
responses active during the night-time period to automatically turn the
lights on at only about 30% brightness whenever the bathroom door is
opened, and we have gone to bed...
ways and
means.....
