Multi: Multiple button presses can recall up to 10 scenes and provide the ability to cycle through scenes. Sequential button presses recall up to 10 scenes.

Built In Functionality

Tap the Built In Functionality button to configure using the built-in functionality.

Cameo Keypad, Scene

Horizon Keypad, Scene

Behavior: The behavior defines how the scene is recalled or toggled when the button is pressed. Select a behavior from the Behavior drop-down list:

Always Recalls Scene: Recalls the scene.
Toggles Scene/Off: Switches the scene on and off.
Custom Toggle: Switches between the On Actions and Off Actions. Assign different scenes to the On Action and Off Action.

Built-in functions are assigned for the following button presses:

Tap: Recalls the scene or the scene on or off with the defined fade time.
Double Tap: Immediately recalls the scene or the scene on or off. The fade time for the scene is bypassed.
Press and Hold: To use the button to raise or lower the lights, select Enable Dimming for Lights. The load raises or lowers based on the action that was performed last. If the load was turned on or raised, press and hold the button to lower the light level. To turn off the lights, continue holding the button after the minimum light level is reached.

Feedback: The LED feedback behavior defines the function of the LED that is associated with the button. Select an LED feedback behavior from the Feedback drop-down list:

On at Scene Level: The LED lights when the scene is recalled.

NOTE: The LED turns off if the scene is modified. For example, the LED turns off if the lights or shades are raised or lowered.
On When any Light On: The LED lights when any lighting load that is associated with the scene is on. For example, if a keypad button recalls the All On scene from the Whole House room, the LED lights when any light in the house is on and the LED turns off when all lights in the house are off.

Enable Dimming for Lights: When Enable Dimming for Lights is enabled, press and hold the button to raise or lower the lights. If the last action performed raised the lights, the lights will be lowered.

NOTES:

An HZ-KPEX and HZ2-KPEX can be assigned a local button even though it cannot directly control a load.
When the local button on the HZ-AUX is pressed, the signal is transmitted using the "traveler" wire to the Horizon dimmer or switch and then the load attached to the Horizon dimmer or switch is turned on or off or dimmed up or down.
The HZ-DIMFLVEX does not support multiway control.
