Impuls switch+ dimmer: Advice needed
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 6:39 pm
My home automation English isn't what it should be, but here goes:
Just recently bought a house and home automation is on my list of things to integrate into my house. The thing is that the standard X10/A10 light switches are ugly, so I want to go for the modules which I can place behind a regular switch.
Situation is this: Most rooms have x number of halogen lights(230V) around the border of the room and one central lamp. What I want is to be able to both control on/off(duh!) and be able to dim them.
Questions:
1) What modules allow this? (Xanura DIX2?)
2) Is a dual 'impuls switch' the one I need to control this?
3) Links to online switching material are welcome. Jung and Gira are the ones I have looked at recently. I'm looking for modern, yet stylish.
The functionality I'm looking for is to have a dual switch to control both light sources. When I push the (left or right)top of the switch, the light goes on in the last remembered dimming position. When I push the bottom the light switches off. Secondly, when I hold the top after light on, the light should increase brightness. When I hold the bottom, light should dim.
