Introduction

In the Ampio system, there is a possibility of configuring outputs in such a way that they get activated one after another, in a so-called stair effect. In order to do that, a module with a couple of outputs is required.

Configuration

First, select an output device to control (here, M-SERV-s) and go to Device configurator.

Click to enlarge and open in a new tab.

From the menu, choose an input device that will manage the operation (here, M-SERV-s again) and open Add condition from device.

Click to enlarge and open in a new tab.

Tick the input to which a sensor is connected, e.g. motion sensor, set the Basic function and confirm.

Click to enlarge and open in a new tab.

Tick the lamps that you want to control. Select the stair function and set the desired parameters:

  • operation - direction (from the first or from the last)
  • delay time (after what time will the first light turn on)
  • offset time (delay between consecutive lights)
  • duration time (for how long will the lights be on)
  • values (switching the lights on or off)

Click to enlarge and open in a new tab.

Confirm and send a new condition to the device.

From now on the lights will be switched on in a cascading fashion after the motion sensor gets activated.
