With the "Dimming” function, lights or lighting groups can be switched on and off and dimmed up and down with one or two push-buttons.
The "Dimming” function can be implemented using the following push-button options. The "1/2 push-button dimming (...)” and "2 push-button dimming” options differ only in terms of connections and programming, but not for the end user. In both cases, the end user has one push-button to turn the lights on and dim them up, and a second push-button to dim the lights down and turn them off.
1 push-button dimming
With 1-button dimming, all functions (off, on, brighter, darker) are performed with one push-button using a short or long push-button press.
1/2 push-button dimming
In case of 1/2-push-button dimming, both push-buttons are configured and connected completely separately: first the first push-button of two, then the second push-button of two, where one push-button is given the function "1/2 button dimming On/brighter” and the other push-button is given the function "1/2 button dimming Off/darker."
2 push-button dimming
With 2-button dimming, both push-buttons are configured together and connected to adjacent channels at the binary input. The prerequisite for this function is that the "Pairwise” option is selected in the device settings for the adjacent channel concerned.

Application example
The “1/2-button dimming” variant can be used, for example, to set different lights to be dimmed to any value using different push-buttons and switched off again using a single push-button. This is possible because with this setting different communication objects are available for the different dimming commands and these can be assigned to different group addresses.
