5.4.3 Push button function application examples
This chapter describes typical application examples for the application area Light (yellow). The application examples can be applied in principle to other application areas.

Terminal block (e.g. GE-KM 200)
Push button block (e.g. GE-TKM 210)

In the application examples the configuration of the digitalSTROM push button block and the used presets is listed in tabular form. The Off preset for the room push button is not presented explicitly every time for reasons of legibility.
 
 

Example 1: Additional presets due to additional room push button
More than 4 presets are intended for one room. Therefore an additional room push button is used to call up the additional presets. See also chapter 5.3.2.

Example 2: Fewer clicks due to one additional room push button
Although the 4 presets in a room are enough for the residents, they want to be able to call up each preset with a maximum of 2 clicks. Therefore you are going to use a second room push button as in example 1. Presets 3 & 4 and 13 & 14, however, remain unused.
Example 3: Dimmed preset with one additional room push button
Different lighting presets are called up in a bathroom with a room push button. The resident wants to use dimmed lighting presets in the bathroom at night. Therefore a second room push button is used to call up a dimmed lighting preset with only one click.

Example 4: Use area push button to switch specific lamps
Configure the two digitalSTROM push button blocks as area push buttons to be able to directly switch selected digitalSTROM Devices in a room with only one click. The ceiling light in the dining table area and the lamp above the lounge table can thus be switched directly. However, the area push buttons can still be used to call up presets for the room. See also chapter 5.3.2.

Local priority for 1x click
Use the device setting ”Local priority for 1x click” to determine how digitalSTROM Devices in an area react to presets called up for the room. Refer to ”Local priority for 1x click” in chapter 5.3.2.
 
Additional presets with area push button B2
If the presets available at the area push buttons do not suffice for the room (e.g. 2-4), you can configure the second digitalSTROM area push button to call up additional presets (e.g. 12-14). In this way you can position the presets for dining on the area push button B1 (dining table) and the presets for reading, relaxation or watching TV on area push button B2 (lounge table). See also chapter 5.3.2.
 
Example 5: Combination between area and room push button
You want to be able to switch/dim two consumers connected separately via digitalSTROM line switches simultaneously from each line switch (e.g. connected standing lamps).
Configure for this purpose both digitalSTROM line switches as area push buttons for the same area (e.g. Area 1). See also chapter 5.3.2.
In this example both standing lamps are switched on/off at the same time.
