S2 on dimmer should dim lights slowly

[Guest MarkJ]

I have a new challange. I use a dimmer (version 2.2) and I would like to get the following realised.

S1 will operate teh dimmer normaly (on,off,dimup-dim-down)

S2 I want to use to dimm the light with LUA code in small steps from 100% till 0% in about 5 minutes. I made some code to dim in 5 minutes from100 to 0 but I was not abel to link it to S2

During this time the kids can fall asleep.

How can I realise this.

You have to use sceneactivation function of S2 switch.

How can I do that?

Seems that i missed something

I find in LUA the posibility to use Sceneactivation but from that point I get lost

For S2 the value should be 26 (Singel click momentary switch) but from that point onwards i do not know what to do.

Can you please guide me in the right direction

MarkJ, first of all, you should go to dimmer advanced properties and turn on scene activation support (parameter 41, it's turned off by default).

After that you need a scene like this (I suppose that 145 is your dimmer ID and you are working with momentary switch 2nd button click (scene id 26)):

Please login or register to see this code.

In addition probably (depends on you code) you need additional check if you scene is already running (in case than someone pushes S2 several times while your scene is executing). Maybe your code requires it, maybe not.

Thanks for sharing this. It helped me to get started with my dimmers and scenes. I'm yet to figure out how to do this with the relay switches though.
