System Overview
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Lights and blinds in the apartment are connected to a single system, called CBUS. This allows each switch to control the lights and blinds, it can also trigger scenes. A scene is a group of actions that will change the environment from a single button press. Eg Close the blinds, Set the lights to 50%.
Switches CBUS switches are press to action; most lights are dimmable. To turn a light on or off, press the switch, if you hold or depress the switch for a longer period, the light will start to dim providing control over the level of the light.
Switch Indication lights A small LED light is integrated into each switch. When the blue light is on, it acts like a ‘press me’ prompt. On multi gang switches sometimes it’s hard to know which switch to press to turn on the room lights. So normally someone presses every switch to get some lights on in the room.
By press the light switch with the blue indication, the main room lighting will turn on. Hopefully making it easier to have lighting on in the area, if you want any other lighting or blinds in that area, you can now read the labels on the other switches and press as needed.
Once a switch is turned on, the indication light changes to Orange showing the room lighting is now on.
Some switches are set up without any indication lights, so no blue or orange. These switches are used for other functions like scenes which are momentary press to set the scene.
Scenes are used to set several lights and/or blinds to a predefined level (eg 30%) in a room. Scenes are triggered by pressing (momentary) a switch, so they are user activated.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Switch Scenes” tab_id=”1603778644071-6325d7ca-b6df”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Movement Sensors
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movement Sensors are fitted in the Apartment Entry, Bedroom Hallway, Bathroom, Laundry and Ensuite. The sensor turns on the light in the room and starts a timer which is re-trigger based on further movement in the room. The switch will turn to orange and can be dimmed if required.
To override the sensor, turn them off, disable them; there is a switch on the same plate for the room light.

To turn the sensor back on again, press the “disable sensor” switch so the orange light turns off and the sensor will be activated for automatic mode.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Schedules” tab_id=”1603778833286-2c16715a-b8be”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
