If you want it full on you turn the knob all the way to the right.

If you want it at the same level of dimness as the last time, you just
push the knob and you don't twist it.

This has the advantage that you can change the preset for next time in
less than a second.

That's what I do with my dining room chandelier and it works fine.

Some dimmers require going all the way to zero before you can turn the
light off, but many others don't.

Since this list moves so fast, II would have emailed you a copy, but
you're making it too much work.  Other people here hide their email
address in a way that it is not too much trouble to find.
