7.1 Notes for operation

Various parameters can be set in the Casambi app and the status of the dimmer can be queried.

Before operation, please ensure that the dimmer is correctly calibrated and that the parameters match the connected load.

The functionality of the button inputs is defined via a parameter. Before the button inputs are configured via Casambi, a push-button style must be selected.



7.2 Operation with App

The device can be controlled via the Casambi App, available for iOS and Android. Another optional control is given by the push-button input.


With a slider you can adjust the brightness of a dimmer (from 0 ... 100%)

The brightness can be reduced  or increased  using the control elements.
and continuously adjusted  using the handle.


Another option is to swipe your finger horizontally over the device icon.




7.3 Sensors and parameter

Dimming Curve

The dimming curve used can be selected, by default the linear curve is used. To get a different dimming behavior, the dimming curve can be selected. The Casambi curves 3 and 4 are intended when several dimmers from different manufacturers are operated together.

7.5 Operation with Push-button input

The device is equipped with a push-button input (Pin 5 u. 6), push-buttons with mains potential can be connected to this input. A push-button has the same priority as the Casambi App, the last one wins.


NOTE
The N must be connected to pin 5.

All wiring and the push-buttons must be insulated for the maximum supply voltage. Ensure the appropriate contact protection after installation. All push-buttons of the well-known switch manufacturers are suitable.

Please see the notes to the push-button styles.
