CONNECT SERIES - How can I set a Mood using a wireless Mood Controller?

Setting Slider Switch (rear of device)

WHEN SLIDE SWITCH IS AT ‘0/1’

When this setting is selected the main ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ buttons when pressed will turn on and off all devices with which they are paired.  

 

WHEN SLIDE SWITCH IS AT ‘M’

When this setting is selected, the main ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ buttons, when pressed, instead of switching every paired device on or off, activate two main user defined moods called and ‘ENTRY’ & ‘EXIT‘ moods. These are designed to act as the main favourite settings for paired devices when the room is entered or vacated.  

 

Setting up a Mood

  1. Firstly set the desired status of each paired receiver (i.e. on or off ) or the desired dim level of any dimmable receivers to be included in the mood.
  2. Select which mood button (1,2, or 3) is to be used to save and recall the new mood. The ‘ON’ & ‘OFF’ buttons can also be used to save a mood if the slider switch is set to ‘M’.
  3. Hold down the desired mood button until the LED starts to flash.
  4. The LEDs on the receivers that are included in the new mood should flash to indicate that they are now recognised as a part of that mood.  

To recall a mood:

Press the desired ‘Mood’ button (1,2 or 3) to recall the corresponding mood. If the slider switch is set to ‘M’ this includes the main ‘ENTRY’ and ‘EXIT’ moods activated using the main ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ switches once they are set up.

Each mood switch sends out a command to tell the paired devices to go to their mood 1, 2 or 3. The mood information is stored *in the receivers* and not in the transmitters.  

Therefore if you had a dimmer switch/socket which was linked to 2 mood controllers and a WiFiLink, no matter where the command was transmitted from, the receiver would go to its preset for Mood 1, 2 or 3. The devices only have the memory for a limited number of moods, so it wouldn't be possible to do it by using multiple transmitters.
