Lights: is setlevel=0 the same as turnOff command?

[okidoki 15]

 

Hi,

 

in order to control the lights you can of course use the turnOn and turnOff commands. But setting the value for the lightlevel (to zero) has the same effect: 

 

example: 

 

lightlevel=0

hc.call(light[i], "setValue", lightlevel)

 

has the same effect as:   

 

hc.call(light[i],"turnOff");

 

 

If i use the light level 0 to turnoff the lamp is has the same effect as turnOff.

And off course, setting the level tot 100 has the same effect as turnOn.

 

My Question is: is it really the same for the lamp ? Or is the lamp still on if i set the level to 0?  

Has it effect on the status of the lamp? (zwave-wise?)

 

thks!

Remark here. Not 100 but 99

Plus in hc2 Turing on command just restore precision state of dimmer idk how about hc3

What is precision state?

More exactly: precise state: in HC2 (and also HC3) when you use the "Turn Off" command at a moment that the lamp is dimmed 50 %, it will be dimmed 50 % again when you use the command "Turn On" the next time. That is sometimes what you want; sometimes it is not.

In the last case you need to use the level settings, then you can switch a light on at any level you want, not necessarily the last used level.
