RE: Fw: CBUS joy!

["christopher purves" <CHRIS_PURVES@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Its because we have so many circuits per room. Most common is

BRIGHT
MEDIUM
DIM
All Off

otherwise you would need to turn on 5 groups and then tiurn 5 off again.

Kitchen you could have

COOKING
DINING
All Off

That make sense ?

Chris
