Ok... I feel like a complete moron for asking this as I have been a HomeSeer (and previously HAL2000) user for quite some time now.
I have a rather large home with approx. 70 Leviton "scene capable" switches.
I assume what this means is that there is a way to program each switch to recognize a particular scene. So, for instance, if I want scene #1 to set switches A1-A16 to 50%, there is a way to preprogram the switches so that instead of sending 16 individual dim commands in series to switches 1-16, I can send one "master" command that will cause all of the switches to go to their pre-programmed settings.
Do I have this right?
If so, this then begs the next question: how the heck do I utilize these features in HomeSeer.
For example, I have a mode programmed into HS called "Party Royale". When I press the correct button on my Omni panel, HS goes through each of my homes switches and sets them to predetermined levels. This process takes approx. 3 minutes to complete as it is done in serial.
Is there a way to preprogram my Leviton switches to the desired level, assign a "scene" code, and then issue just one command from HS to turn them all on simultaneously?
Any help would be appreciated as this is one subject I have not been able to figure out through research.
TIA,
Paul
