How to setup Multi - Press

Multi Press gives the you option to configure any actionable automation within the system to be triggered from the specified button event.

These events include Short Press (SP), Multi-Press (MP), Long-press (LP) Release (LR)

Any of the above button events can be assigned to the top or bottom button of a dimmer or socket.

Multi Press will allow you to automate up to 24 presses of a button which can then trigger custom automations that you have set up

e.g.

5 presses can be set up as a kill switch

3 presses can be boost Lightwave heating and you can still have the single press turn the light on that it is wired to

So you can have 24 automations set up for the ON button and 24 automations set up for the OFF button

Please note that on all Lightwave dimmers a Single press will always turn on the connected lighting circuit and a Double press will always set a lighting circuit to 100% brightness regardless of what automations you create in the multi press set up.

Example of how to set up a multi press in the app:

Go to the settings of the device channel that you wish to add the multi-press automation on

SELECT MULTI- PRESS From the settings list

This will then take you to the below screen where you can set up mirror device (replicate another device) Custom up or down button - in this example we will be doing a custom UP button press
