Dimming Setup

This article explains how to enable dimming, the different dimming modes available, and other dimming-related settings.

To dim a light, the device controlling the light must have a built-in dimming function. For example, the light outlet must support dimming.

In the app, dimming is configured on the device that controls the light. Select the room where the device is located, then select the device controlling the light. On the settings page, choose "Dimming".

Dimming Mode: Continuous

Continuous dimming allows the light level to be adjusted smoothly by pressing and holding the switch button. The brightness will increase or decrease as long as the button is held.

Dimming Mode: Stepped

Stepped dimming causes the light to turn on at a predefined dimming level. For example, the dimming level can be set to 40%.

Advanced Settings

Advanced settings can be accessed by selecting the "Show More" button at the bottom of the page.

Minimum and Maximum Levels

Here, you can define the dimming range of the light. For example, the minimum level can be set to 10% and the maximum level to 100%.

Fade-In and Fade-Out Times

These settings determine how long it takes for the light to turn on and off.

For example, the fade-in time can be set to 1 second, which means the light will take 1 second to fade from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level.

Dimming Times

Here, you can define how long it takes to dim the light up or down when using a switch.

For example, if the dim-up time is set to 4 seconds, the button must be held for 4 seconds for the light to go from the minimum level to the maximum level.

Dimming Method

Choose between trailing-edge and leading-edge dimming.

Trailing-edge dimming is selected by default, as it is compatible with most modern light bulbs and LED lamps used today.

Leading-edge dimming is typically suitable for incandescent bulbs and halogen lamps.
