2.5.7 Configuring Lighting and Keypads

Use the Control4

Composer Pro System Design and Connections views to configure Dimmers,

Switches and Keypads.

Tip: Double- and triple-tap events apply to the Control4 Dimmers, Switches, and Keypads. When you

tap a button consecutively two (2) or three (3) times for about one-half of one second the events fire.

You can use these events for programming without requiring the more complex programming logic

tied to timers and button 'Press/Release' events.
