When several initiators are linked to the same subject using 0104. Momentary (follow) actions, they function as a logical OR: as long as one or more of the initiators is closed (pressed, on), the subject will be closed (on). Only when all initiators are open (off, released), the subject will be open (off).

Caution: this logical OR function will be cancelled if another action (eg. 0102. Off) intervenes.

None

This action applies to:

• VMB1DM

Description:

The initiator is a push button

• short press: the blind goes up, either completely or until a down action is initiated.
• long press: the blind goes up as long as the button is pressed. The motor stops when the button is released.

If the blind channel is in slat mode (cfr. blind configuration in Velbuslink), the functions for long and short press are inversed (firmware 1809 or higher).

If the blind was going down, a short or long press will stop the motor.

The initiator is a relay or sensor

The blind goes up when the initiator closes. If the blind was going down, it will stop. If the initiator is not a push button, in most cases the action 0109. Immediately up is more suitable.

• VMBDME

Parameters:

None

This action applies to:

• VMB1DM
• VMB1LED
• VMBDME

Description:

This action is used for master/slave dimming. Master/slave dimming uses the initiator dimming channel as the master. When dimming the master channel up or down, the slave will follow. But when dimming the slave up or down, the master channel will not follow.

The master must be initiator of this action, and the slave subject.

Don't forget to set the master dimming channel as master in the configuration settings of the dimmer module.

Parameters:

None

This action applies to:

• VMB1DM
• VMB1LED
• VMB4DC
• VMBDME
• VMBDMI
• VMBDMI-R

Description:

When the initiator closes or is pressed, the light dims to the set dimming value. This value can be set in percentages ranging from 0% (completely off) to 100% (completely on) in steps of 1%.

If duration is different from continuous, the dimming channel will be switched off after the timer expires. The timer starts to run as soon as the initiator is released or when the dimming channel reaches 100%. The timer is restartable.

The dim up / down duration defines how long it will take to dim gradually from the current percentage to the target percentage.

Parameters:

• Duration
• 0s (none)
• 1s to 3 days
• Continuous
• Default value: Continuous
• Dim up/down duration
• 0s (none)
• 1s to 3 days
• Continuous
• Default value: 0s (none)
• Dim percentage
• 0 to 100%
• Default value: 50%

Feedback behaviour:

LED is off when dimmer is off (0%), blinks during dimming up or down, and is constantly lit when a dimming value different from 0% is reached (blinking slowly if duration is different from continuous)

This action applies to:

• VMB4DC
• VMBDMI
• VMBDMI-R

Description:

A list of dimming values is entered in the dimmer's configuration settings. Every time the initiator closes, the dimmer will go to the next dimming value (similar to consecutively activating dim percentages with a single button, see action 0214. Atmospheric dimvalue).

By entering only two dim values in the list (eg. 0% and 65%), this action can be used as a dim toggle.

If duration is different from continuous, the dimming channel will be switched off after the timer expires. The timer starts to run as soon as the initiator is released or when the dimming channel reaches 100%.

Parameters:

• Duration
• 0s (none)
• 1s to 3 days
• Continuous
• Default value: Continuous
• Dim up/down duration
• 0s (none)
• 1s to 3 days
• Continuous
• Default value: 0s (none)

Feedback behaviour:

LED is off when dimmer is off (0%), blinks during dimming up or down, and is constantly lit when a dimming value different from 0% is reached (blinking slowly if duration is different from continuous)

Examples:

With each press on a button, the dimmer cycles through the dimming values 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and then 0% etc. (the number of steps and their values can be freely configured).

This action applies to:

• VMB4DC
• VMBDMI
• VMBDMI-R

Description:

When the initiator closes or is pressed, the dimming channel goes slowly to 100%.

Parameters:

• Dim up duration
• 0s (none)

Feedback behaviour:

LED off when dimmer is off (0%), blinks during dimming up or down, and is constantly lit when dimming value different from 0% is reached

Examples:

Slow on.

This action applies to:

• VMB4DC
• VMBDMI
• VMBDMI-R

Description:

When the initiator closes or is pressed, the dimming channel will go slowly to 100% (see action 0301. Slow on). It will then remain on during duration ('continuous' = until it is switched off). When the initiator is released or opened, or when the timer expires, the dimming channel will go off slowly (see action 0303. Slow off).

Examples:

Slow on, remain on during a certain time, then slow off.

This action applies to:
