Set the brightness level
You can set the brightness of the lights that are controlled by a Lamp module. To do so,
1 Go to the Summary page.
2 Click on the QuikControl button on the blue menu bar.
3 Click in the Brightness field to show a drop down menu. Choose a brightness level
such as 100%. This means the light will be as bright as it can be. Click on the
button labeled ‘Set’.
4 The change in brightness level will now be displayed in the Pending window and
your iControl System will update the lamp at the time shown in the Pending window.
Tip: The Lamp Module can only control lights using 40w to 300w incandescent light
bulbs. It cannot control other types of bulbs such as florescent lights. Also, it is not
recommended for 3 way lights or lights controlled by 3 way wall switches.
Control your Lamp Module
The Lamp Module can be turned on and off in one of three ways:
1 Press the Light button on your Keychain Remote once to turn any light s controlled
by the Lamp Module on or off. If the light is on, pressing the Light button twice
quickly will turn it off. Likewise, if it is off, pressing the button once will turn it on.
2 Using QuikControl. Go to your Summary page and click on the QuikControl button.
One of the items in the drop down menu will be your Lamp Module. Select the
Lamp module to open its control dialog box. Select the brightness level you want
and click the Set button. In a few minutes, the iControl box will talk to the Lamp
module via iControl’s servers. Then the Lamp Module will turn on to the selected
brightness level.
3 If you have added turning lights on or off to an automation such as turning on the
lights if a Motion Sensor recognizes a person entering the Sensor’s monitored area.
