Dimmer 2 unlink direct connection b/t S1 and the light

[soesas 0]

Hi,

this forum is pretty awesome. I've read quite some hints and tips but I haven't found a solution to my following problem.

Is it possible to ONLY send a command from S1 to the station without turning on or off the light?

 

Backgound:

According to the time of day I would like the dimmer to react differently.

(eg if turned on at night the lights shall go to 20%

if turned on during the day to straight 100%

if turned on in the morning they should slowly increase from 20% to 100%)

 

it is quite easy to set rules for that but as of now the light turns on (as toggled by the switch) and then the rule is performed - so I get a bright flicker.

 

One workaround would be to set the default brightness to 20% and then perform the rule from there. (I read something about a parameter which has to be set to 255. )

I would much prefer a way where the switch only sends a command to the HomeStation, which then triggeres a rule and thus triggers the light.

 

Thanks for your help!
