PLCBUS-2264D: Local dimming yes or no and how?
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:22 pm
I have searched the internet, but I can't find the answer to my question:
For my new home I plan on using the PLCBUS system:
- fast
- wired (I don't trust wireless)
- status reading possible
- micromodules possible
- dimming possible
I plan on using micromodules of type PLCBUS-2264D behind a Jung 534-4
U momentary 2-way switch http://www.jung-catalogus.nl/content.ht ... rt=0&suche.
Problem is I want to know if I can:
- dim the light with the switch
- send a command to the server to know the light is dimmed
Elekhomica says: on/off possible, dimming not with the switch

Automation@home says: local dimming possible http://x10-hk.com/store/product_info.ph ... cts_id=192
But if i look at the wiring diagram http://x10-hk.com/store/manual/plcbus/w ... 64d-ld.pdf
I see only 3 instead of 4 or 5 wires. Or if i look at the simpler 1-switch 2263D module http://x10-hk.com/store/manual/plcbus/w ... 63d-ld.pdf I see just 2 wires to the switch. So how does the switch tell the module to dim+ or dim- with just 2 wires.
Does anyone have this 2264 or 2263 module and tell me please if it supports local dimming and if so, does it work to your satisfaction?
