I am using EventGhost to control my lighting with dimmers with a Tellstick Duo. I originally gave every dimmer/switch device a separate ID and created multiple groups in Telldus Center. This did not work as it took too long time to control a group. Firing one code after another increased the chance that one light missing the command. This did not give me much WAF
So now I have fewer groups but every device in a group has learned a single device code. So I can send one command and dim all the lights I want. This way I can also repeat the command to make sure its received by every device. This works reasonable well so my wife has stopped complaining too much
I'm using Nexa switches and remotes to control the lights and dimming. I use 4 buttons per group. On, off, dim up and dim down. One downside with this is the memory limit on the devices and 1. time set up.I have a few issues before I'm satisfied.
- Dimming a single device to 100% and then turning off all lights in the house (by single device code) before going to bed. The single device still believes it is at 100%. What I would like is a way to tell whatever devices I decide what level they are on without actually sending the code to the device.
- I miss an repeat option in the actions. Now I execute the same command 3 times fast but dim up and dim down is a bit tricky. The first dim is at 18% and the two following is 1% so if all commands are received I should end up in 20%. So next dim will be 38% + 1% + 1%.
