5.4.2.2 Area push button
The area push button always switches/dims digitalSTROM devices belonging to the same area in a room with 1x click. All other devices in the room are not affected. Use the drop-down menu to select the desired area to be switched on with 1x click. A maximum of 4 areas are available in each room.
The behaviour concerning local priority can be set for the area push button. The local prioritization prevents a light that was switched on using the area push button from being changed by a room preset. This light can only be switched off using the room push button when this is pressed for 1 second. If the local prioritization is deactivated, the light reacts to every room preset. To do this, under Hardware / Editing device properties / Advanced properties, the parameter 'Local prioritization with 1x click' is defined.
 
If a digitalSTROM push button block is configured as area push button, the main section Activities will show the associated preset, e.g. Area 1 On. If the preset for an area is saved (e.g. Area 1 On), the digitalSTROM devices switched on at this time (device value > 0 %) will automatically make up the corresponding area.
With 2x, 3x, 4x click on the area push button additional presets can be called up for the room.
 
Example 1: Use area push button to switch specific lamps
Fig. 48: Example of dividing a room into different areas
The area push button makes it possible to switch on all digitalSTROM devices within an area (e.g. both ceiling light in the area B1) with 1x click. The other digitalSTROM devices remain unaffected (for the setting of areas also see Chapter 5.6.2).
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 (Fig.48). 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 a preset for the room (see chapter 5.4.2.2).
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). 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).
