5.4.3 Examples of the light application area
The following examples are only for the light application area, but can also be applied correspondingly to other application areas.
In the following examples, the configuration of the digitalSTROM push button block and the presetsused are listed in tabular form. For ease of legibility the Off preset is not represented explicitly for the room push button.
Example 1: Additional presets due to additional room push button
If more than 4 presets are required in a room, an additional room push button can then be installed (see chapter
5.3).

Push button | Click | Preset |
Room push button 1 | 1x click | 1 – Entire room |
| 2x click | 2 – Reading |
| 3x click | 3 – Relaxing |
| 4x click | 4 – TV |
Room push button 2 | 1x click | 11 – Dining romantic |
| 2x click | 12 – Dining light |
| 3x click | 13 – Study |
| 4x click | 14 – Living-room table lighting |
Device push buttons 1 & 2
| 1x click | Associated standing lamp |
| 2x, 3x,4x click | Presets 2-4 |
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.
Then install a second room push button as in example 1. The presets 3 & 4 and 13 & 14 remain unused, however.
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 residents would like to be able to use dimmed lighting presets in the bathroom at night.
Then install a second room push button as in example 1 and 2 so that a dimmed light preset can be called up with just one click.

Push button | Click | Preset |
Room push button 1 | 1x click | 1 – Mirror cabinet/WC |
| 2x click | 2 – Bath/shower |
| 3x click | 3 – Whole room light |
| 4x click | 4 - Preset 4 |
Room push button 2 | 1x click | 11 – Mirror cabinet dimmed |
| 2x click | 12 – Bath/shower dimmed |
| 3x click | 13 – Whole room dimmed |
| 4x click | 14 - Preset 14 dimmed |
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.
Local prioritization with 1x click
The device setup "Local prioritization with 1x click" allows you to determine how the digitalSTROM devices in an area should respond to the call-up of preset for the room.
Additional presets with area push button B2If 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). Thus, for example, the presets for dining can be set on the area push button B1 (dining table), and the presets for reading, relaxing or watching TV can be set on the area push button B2 (lounge table) (see chapter
5.5).

| 4x click | 4 – TV |
Device push buttons 1 & 2
| 1x click | Associated standing lamp |
| 2x, 3x,4x click | Presets 2-4 |
Example 5: Combination between area and room push button
You want to be able to switch/dim two consumers connected separately via digitalSTROM line dimmers simultaneously from each line dimmer (e.g. connected standing lamps).
To do this, configure both digitalSTROM line dimmers as an area push button for the same area (B1).
