Direct Turn On/Off command: The load will be switched on or off
Direct Turn On level “X”: The load will be switched on to the dimming
level specified “X”.
Dim One Level Up : The load will be dimmed one level
Dim One Level Down: The load will be brightened one level
Join/Disjoin group “X”: The device will Join/Disjoin the group “X”.
Each dimmer can be member of several groups at the same time.
Group Turn On/Off: All Budderfly Switch Dimmers that are members
of the same group can be controlled remotely with one click.
Direct RTC synchronization: The Budderfly Switch Dimmer can receive
a command to synchronize its “Real Time Clock”
Get Actual Measurement: When the Budderfly Switch Dimmer
receives a “Get Measurement” command, it will send back to the
facility controller a string of data that contains:
- The Current in Amps “A”.
- The Power in Watt “W”.
- A Timestamp.
Get Stored Measurement: The Budderfly Dimmer Switch will send
back to the Facility Controller the stored electrical measurements.
Direct Reset Commands: The Budderfly Dimmer Switch can receive 3
types of reset commands:
- Hard Reset: This command will restart the device without
affecting any stored parameter.
- Data Reset: This command will erase all the measurement and
RTC data stored in the non-volatile memory.
- Group Reset: This command will remove the device from all
joined groups.
Group Reset Commands: The above reset commands can be directed
to a group of devices instead of just one device.
CAUTION
Never use a metallic pin to press the reset button.
