Identify the phase dimmer in the E2D UI.

  1. Go into the Vertex UI.

  2. Go to [1] Device list tab located on the left side of the screen.

  3. The Phase Dimmer instance will be visible in General lighting section [2]. You can group it with other luminaires or create a new group. Read Grouping of luminaires if you don’t know how to do that.

  4. Use the Identification button [3] to locate your device.

 

If you have several lightbulbs connected to the phase dimmer, you see them as one DALI address in Vertex UI. They are controlled like a single DALI luminaire, so you can’t dim them individually.

Step-by-step instructions

  • dali2devs

  • vertex action

  • vertex cluster

 

  1. Go to the Node-RED. In the dali2devs or DALI2 Devs Common node, in the Serial Number [1] field, you can choose the correct phase dimmer unit.

  2. In vertex action node select Single button [2] mode and set action as Set brightness [3] and Group [4].

  1. If you want to dimm the luminaires using a button, go to the Dimming button article.

  2. If you want to have the luminaires controlled using a presence/motion sensor, go to the Multisensor (DALI-2 sensor) article.
