RE: CBus programming question



I don't *think* you'll be able to accomplish that with just the logic
capabilities of the switches/modules themselves since I don't think
there are timers you can use in the programming (It's been a while since
I last touched my CBUS config though, so it's possible I may have
forgotten about something!) ... - you might be able to do it using the
short press/long press conditions perhaps?... E.G:

1. lights are off
2. short press turns light 1 on
3a. another short press turns light 1 off again
3b. Or a long press turns light 2 on
3c. Another log press turns light 2 off again

You can certainly do this with a CBUS PAC though (or any of the other
units with the logic engine, i.e. the CTOUCH modules).

You could also do this with Comfort if you happen to have one....

I'm sure Phil H will be along with the *definitive* answer in a
while....
