Dim
This operation dims a device or group. It is a little more complex than the On and Off elements.
First select the device you want to dim the set the illumination level.
There are four ways to dim a device (or group):
 The first way is to set the illumination layer—100% is full bright and 0% is full dim.
 The second way reduces the illumination level by a percentage.
 The third way increases the illumination level by a percentage.
 If the device supports advanced dimming you can select the dim level to go to.
Using a percentage works, regardless of how many dim levels the device supports.
The percentage you select converts to a number of dim levels using this formula:
Dim levels = (supported dim levels)
 (percentage you entered)
