STICK Questions
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 7:36 am
ok i have been playing around a bit and have figured out some of my questions (like how to make the dimmer bar dim the full 8 steps and not just 4) but there are still a few questions left (i am running ESA Pro Sep 29 beta, Firmware 1.11)
1: what do you have to do to make the input ports work when they are not programed to a button? (there are only 40x buttons and you can have 255 remote buttons)
2: if some of the lights in scene 1 are already on (via calendar or someone left them on) and after activating a port (say port 1) (that was set to run scene 1, once) after the scene finishes why is it they don't just go back to what they were doing before? or how do you make them go back to what they were doing?
for say if it was setup to have the outside lights red/green around Christmas and you have a motion detector that makes them go white/bright when someone triggers the sensor then they should go back to there scheduled program (red and green) till the calendar or someone dose something else
2a: if you have one of the input ports set to run a scene 1x time and you pressed the button and it did it's thing how long do you have to wait before you can press it again so it will do it's thing again? or do you have to press another button first?
3: if you are using RGB led lights and you have say 3x zones buttons 1-3 and you want to be able to set the color of one of the zones (scene) with the color bar, how do you make it only change that zone? when i try it it all 3 come on and go to that color?
4: is there any way to program the IR codes to the Bright Dimm buttons or speed change buttons?
5: is there any way to make it so when you hold either side of the color bar (buttons 0 and 9) you can manually dimm or brighten the lights (so you have more then the 8x steps? this could also be used so you could program a remote to control the brightness easier.
6: can you program the IR remote to control any of the 40 buttons directly so you don't have to make sure it is on the right page when you press a button?
