With HV you use the "set direct to level"
command.
Level 1-62 soft starts from dim to max.
Level
63 goes straight to 100% with NO soft start. Not sure what HomeSeer
equivalent is though?

Thanks James, of course I forgot to mention that
following the fitting of my
first ever DIN module at the weekend, SWMBO
promptly decided that she
doesn't like the soft-start feature! - she
wants
a light to behave like a
light, and "just come on" when she presses the
switch... I tried to explain
to her that it will extend the bulb life,
but
I don't think she was
impressed... She's also decided that she
definately
doesn't like the memory
dim feature (i.e. all the nice stuff I paid
extra
for!) - she wants her
lights to come on at full brightness every time
she
turns one on, unless
told otherwise.. She'll not be happy in the
following
scenario:
I'm watching TV in the living room till the wee hours, and
I've got the LD11
dimmed to about 30%...
I go to bed, and just
send
an "OFF" command as part of my going to bed
macro...
The
following
day, she comes in to the living room, and presses the light
switch....
The light comes on at 30% only (because that's where
I
left it)...
ZERO WAF!! (Honestly, women!) err.. Sorry Jenni... - not
*you* of course!
I've had to promise, that I will "fix it" so
that
whenever she presses the
light switch, it will behave like a "normal"
light switch, - I.E. come on at
100% brightness, and preferably just
come
on without soft-starting... (Don't
know why I don't just put the LW12
back
on... oh yes, I remember, because
it's **CK UGLY!)
Q: - using
the
preset dim feature, can I make it behave how she wants? - I
was
thinking I
could send a 100% pre-set dim level in my daily reset event
which runs
at
05:30 every morning, (but not turn the light on) - is this
possible? -
so
that the next time the light is switched on, the 100% dim
level would
be
in effect, rather than whatever dim level it may have been
left at
previously?
I know this is defeating the object of the thing, but
I've
bought it now,
and I sweated blood to install the **cker, so I'm jolly
well going to use
it! (but I still have to obey
SWMBO!)
Cheers.
Paul
