RE: LD11 preset question (with Homeseer)
frustrated - yep. I find it really hard to comprehend that
with all
the web based house control and fancy systems
that
people are adding, that I can't get info on such a simple thing like "how
do you change the ramp rate on an LD11".
At
least I have got lots of info to allow me to know what the LD11
will
do.
cheers
everyone
Keith
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 ?
Kevin
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.....
