ONLY admin users can make changes to the collator settings in Stage One of the below procedures.

Enter the desired duration of the Fade [10].

Override Function

When using the scheduler you may wish to have an override button(s), you can do this with a normal scene set button but when the scheduler next sends a message it will override your manual command.

This may not be an issue for your application but if it is then the option is to have an override button.

The override button, rather than setting a scene, brings lights on at their configured level for a period of time. If the priority of this message is set to '9' then during this time scheduler messages are ignored.

Any Wireless Radio device can be configured to send one or more override ON messages. Each button being linked to a different group of lights and/or overriding for a different period of time.

If you have Delays set on your Scene Controller, they can impact the scene time that is maintained.
