Indicators

Each key contains an RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) LED indicator. The indicator on any key can be assigned to follow the state of any one Widget.

The Widget to Indicator mapping can be defined independently for each Profile.

Color

The on-state and off-state colors can be defined independently for each Widget, from the following list of colors:

Color ID	Color
0	Off
1	White
2	Red
3	Green
4	Blue
5	Cyan
6	Magenta
7	Yellow
8	Orange
9	User 1
10	User 2
11	Dynamic 1
12	Dynamic 2
13	Dynamic 3
14	Dynamic 4
15	Dynamic 5

User Colors

In addition to the 9 predefined color values in the palette, there are two user-definable colors, which can be set using the color wheel selector in the installation software.

Dynamic Colors

The “Dynamic” color value settings allow the color of indicators assigned that value to be changed at run time to any one of the other 11 colors (Color ID values 0-10) using the level of a C-Bus Lighting group. For example, if indicators are set to Dynamic 1 color, and Group X is assigned to control the Dynamic 1 indicator color then setting the level of the Group X to 5, this would set those indicators to Cyan. If the level of Group X is then set to 10, all these indicators would change to the User 2 color.

Active and Idle Brightness, and Idle Time-out

When a unit has not been operated for some time, it enters to an “Idle” state. In this state, the indicators can be configured to change to a lower brightness and/or to change to a different color (“Nightlight” function).

When a key is pressed, the unit switches to "Active" mode, and the indicator brightness is set to the "Active" brightness setting. When there are no key presses detected for the "Idle Time-out" time (default 15s), the unit enters the "Idle" state where the indicator brightness is set to the "Idle" brightness setting.

Nightlight

If the Nightlight function is enabled, there is also the option to ignore the first keypress when waking from the Idle state (the normal key function for the key pressed to wake the unit from Idle is not performed).

Brightness

There are separate settings for Active and Idle brightness. These settings can be set to fixed values, or they can each be controlled dynamically by their own Lighting Group. This would typically be used to adjust the brightness at different times of day according to a schedule.

For example, it might be desirable for the Idle Brightness of units located in bedrooms to be reduced at night time.
