GROUP CONTROL AND DIMMING

When turning on a group, dimmers

will turn on at the light level they

were set to before they were

turned off.

The light levels of all dimmers in a

group will align to the same level

after any dimming operation ends.

SCENE CONTROL AND DIMMING

When turning on dimmers in a

scene they will always go to their

programmed light level for the

scene.

Dimming of all dimmers in a scene

will maintain any difference in light

level after dimming stops. The light

levels will not align.

dependant upon the number

of walls and their construction.

However, the effects of this will be

minimized by the mesh and routing

capabilities of the astral system.
