Chapter 14—Visual Scene Editor

The Home Control Assistant

If you drag and drop a KeypadLinc this dialog appears:

A scene can control the KeypadLinc’s load or just control one of the button LEDs. This dialog lets

you select the one you want and its properties.

If you want to add HCA as a scene responder press the

Add HCA as Responder button in the

ribbon.

The VSE will not let you drag and drop a device into a scene that the VSE doesn’t support, nor

will it let you add the same device more than once.

Modifying a device’s scene properties

When you added a device to a scene using drag-and-drop, the popup dialog let you set the device’s

properties. You can change them any time by a right-click on the device.

The first four choices in this popup menu are just provided for your convenience and perform the

same actions on the device as they do when you right-click on the device in other places in HCA.

The

Modify option opens a similar dialog as when you added the device. You can change the level

and ramp rate, or if a KeypadLinc LED, which indicator is used.

Removing responders from a scene

To remove a component from a scene, right-click on it as described in the last section and select

“Remove”. You can’t undo this action but you could abandon the scene changes if you discover

you really didn’t want to remove that scene component.

Changing the scene name

To change the scene name, double-click on the scene name and a dialog appears that lets you name

the scene. You can also press the

Name and Notes button in the ribbon to get to the same dialog.
