Each row maps one Room Light Control to a selected graph and can be saved directly.
Views
The Views feature enables creating custom dashboards tailored to the control and monitoring needs of rooms or zones. Each view uses a grid of cells, where cells can display labels, values, buttons, or lighting commands, and automatically expand when adjacent cells are unconfigured.
Remote Link
Remote Link shares lighting control between DALI channels and controllers on the same network.
The page groups four sub-pages.
| Page | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Link Network | Selects the Link Network this controller belongs to |
| RLC Links (Send) | Publishes Room Light Control values into Link IDs |
| Virtual Buttons (Receive) | Executes button events received from Link IDs |
| Link Monitor | Diagnostic view of the Link IDs seen on the network |
Link Network
Selects the Link Network (0-255) this controller belongs to. Values are only shared between controllers on the same Link Network.
RLC Links (Send)
Each entry publishes one value into a Link ID. Controllers receiving that Link ID apply the value. The value can come from a Room Light Control, or from a DALI occupancy or light sensor shared directly. Sharing a sensor directly needs no local Room Light Control on the sending side.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The value the entry sends. Disabled turns the entry off |
| Source | The Room Light Control the value is taken from, or, for the sensor types, the DALI sensor selected by channel and device |
| Link ID | The Link ID (1-32767) the entry publishes into |
| Heartbeat (min) | Interval at which the value is re-sent so late receivers stay in sync |
| Occupancy/Hold Slot | Receiver input slot (1-4) used for the RLC Occupancy, RLC Warning Hold and Occupancy Sensor types |
| Deadband (lx) | Minimum change in lux before a new RLC Light Level or Light Sensor value is sent |
Type
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Disabled | The entry does not send anything |
| RLC Occupancy | Sends the occupancy state, holding receiving Room Light Controls occupied while active |
| RLC Warning Hold | Sends the warning hold state, holding receiving Room Light Controls in warning hold while active |
| RLC Light Level | Sends the measured light level in lux, for daylight harvesting on the receiving side |
| RLC Commands | Forwards the Room Light Control output commands (on, off, scene, level, circadian, blink warning, etc.) |
| Occupancy Sensor | Sends a DALI occupancy sensor state directly, holding receiving Room Light Controls occupied while active |
| Light Sensor | Sends a DALI light sensor level in lux directly, for daylight harvesting on the receiving side |
The Occupancy Sensor and Light Sensor types publish a DALI sensor straight into a Link ID, without a local Room Light Control. When one of them is selected, the Source column lists the DALI sensors by channel and device.
The Occupancy/Hold Slot lets several senders hold the same receiver independently: the receiver stays held while any of its slots is active. The Deadband applies to the light level only.
Virtual Buttons (Receive)
A virtual button executes the button events received from its Link ID on this controller, exactly like a locally connected DALI push button. Long press dimming ramps are generated locally and protected by a fail-safe timeout.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Receive from Link ID | The Link ID (1-32767) this virtual button follows. Empty disables the virtual button |
| Mode | Push Button or Switch, matching the source button behaviour |
| Destination Type | Channel / Group, Lamp, Commander, Commanders, Group Control, or RLC Outputs |
| Destination | The target that depends on the Destination Type |
| Command | The command executed on the destination |
| Value 1, Value 2 | The command values |
The destination, command and values follow the same rules as a physical DALI push button.
Link Monitor
Lists the Link IDs observed on the network, received from any publisher on the same Link Network, with their last value and publisher. The view updates automatically and is a diagnostic aid to confirm that senders and receivers use matching Link Networks and Link IDs.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Network | The Link Network the value was received on |
| Link ID | The Link ID the value belongs to |
| Type | The value type (occupancy, warning hold, light level, command, button event) |
| Value | The last value received |
| Slot | The occupancy/hold slot, when applicable |
| Source Device | The publishing controller |
| Source IP | The IP address of the publishing controller |
| Age | Time since the value was last received |
