help with DAIX12

Post by **aralmeida** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 10:41 pm

I'm trying to implement the following behavior in the living room:
Click the light button -> Lights on with soft-start
Click the light button -> Lights off with soft-dim
Press the light button -> Dim lights.

So i suppose i should use the DAIX12.
But in the DAIX12 specs it appears to support only 250W?
So i can use it in a room with small lighting needs but not in the living room...
Is this correct?

Thank you.

Yes DAIX12 is the product that you need.

More than 250W is lot...
In my living room I have 4 DAX12 in use the max usage of 1 lamp is 80 watt.

Other solution for your situation:
split the living room light in blocks of +/- 200 watt and use IMX10 for controlling.

Is there a way to send some command to the daix12 to limit the maximum value?
It would be interesting to be able to (for example) after some time send a command to all the lights so that they they limit their brightness to say 60% max.
This way if i go to the kitchen during the night the lights on the corridor don't show their full power making me blind...and awakening me.

PS:
If this isn't possible and since there is going to be a meeting with Xanura representatives (i heard...) maybe someone can suggest this improvement...

Oh, and maybe small modules located in the junction box like these ones from Fagor:

They have the controller, and some other very interesting modules...
Just an idea...

I have made a program in Visual basic, with help from soms members. To send using a PMIX35 a command that starts the light a 60%. Or dim it to 60% when the lights are on.

ps. The site you gave. www.fagor.com isn't in English maybe you can translate what's so special about these dimmers?
