Rly01h as dimmer button control ( bell button type )

[Vangelis]

As an alternate method of control - Have you thought of using Comforts IR capabilities?

You would have to use and IR Rx module as your dimmer, however may give you the control you wish..

One way is to program control menu for Short press - pulse output for 0.5 secondsLong press - -pulse output for eg 5 seconds
Dim - permanent set output 1 to dim continuous until the dim stop commandDim stop  - Output Off to stop the dimming

Hi Vangelis,
Could you explain more ? interesting idea .... It should need additional device, isnt it ? 

[bagushandhoko]

tech07...it will be 3 button , right ?

Sure... Comfort has some pre-stored (vendor) IR codes and can \'blast\' them out via an IR Tx (https://www.cytech.biz/infrared_led_module.html) that is connected to the Comfort Panel.

Using this type of Dimmer Switch (http://www.varilight.co.uk/products/vplus-ir.html) replacing your single gang switch, it can be programmed to turn on/off/dim via these IR codes.

The idea would be that you centrally locate the IR Blaster in the room and then have multiple IR Dimmer switch plates controlling various lights. I suspect you could even control table lights via similar IR Switches.

One thing to note - This method is not status aware, in that you will be unable to query the status of lights (however you might be able to use Comforts \'counters\' to keep an eye on things?)

Thats interestingHave you learned the IR codes for the Varilight switches?Is there any problem?

This is good idea and good product too.... but unfortunately for my house  already ordered using newest of philips LED module ( 16 watt for 2000 lm ) that using Xitanium Driver with Dali/Trailing Edge dimming protocol,  also the dimmer controller already bought  , so  i has no option except programing cytech . 
For now it is using 2 altenatives :
1.  Through RLY01H combine by current sensor for status, but there is possibility, comfort only control on off without dimming function ( due make it simple for user side )
2. Through Dimmer 2 Fibaro ( my system using ucm zwave ) . I plan using fibaro user interface as main access combine comfort as provider management complexity / as integrator system

@slychiu - You don\'t need to as the dimmer module learns codes from remote. In effect, you can pick any ones from Comforts library and blast them out/

Following tech07 suggestion ... comfort succesful control the dimmer control .  There are 2 key  :  first key , on off key by sending output pulse 100 ms . Second key, dimming key by sending output pulse 4 seconds
On off key working very well . Dimming key can dim the lamp about 50 % and 100 %. 
Next ... .any suggestion how to make  the user interface more \"pretty\" ,  at least like standart on off button  ? Now the \"button\" are text button ... not okay.
