Commander

The Commanders allow sending multiple commands in sequence. The sequence can be executed once, executed a number of times or executed until stopped manually.

The Commanders can be started or stopped from a schedule, a DALI-2 button, the occupancy of a Room Light Control, BACnet or the web interface.

The commands can be used to control one of the following:

  • Control the light intensity of a group or channel.
  • Send a command to a group or channel (Recall Scene, Recall Min Level, etc.).
  • Control the colour of group or channel.
  • Enable or disable a DALI-2 sensor or button.
  • Send a command to a Room Light Control (Start Daylight Harvesting, Stop Demand Response, etc.).
  • Enable or disable a schedule.
  • Start or stop the execution of another commander.
