RE: LD11 preset question (with Homeseer)

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Bummer. - that'll explain why I can't get it toi work then!

Oh well, I guess I'll have o do it like you say, - every day, I'll
"reset"
the dim level to 100% by turning it on, setting the level, then turning it
off again. I'll do it as part of my daily reset routine which runs at 05:30
every morning.

This is for the bathroom lights, where there will be a sensor switch just
inside the door for "normal" operation of the light, and for
highest WAF,
this should operate as normal as possible, i.e. come on at 100% brightness.
However, I do intend to have some PIR activated lighting responses active
during the night-time period to automatically turn the lights on at only
about 30% brightness whenever the bathroom door is opened, and we have gone
to bed...

ways and means.....
