Device Notes

DO NOT attempt to open more than one client to the H48 box at one time. If the AMX system is already connected to the H48, please disconnect the AMX system first before attempting to open up another client (by using TELNET or HyperTerm…) to the H48. There is no support for multiple clients on the H48. If you do connect another client to the H48 while the AMX system is actively connected, the AMX connection will be terminated and the Duet module will attempt to reconnect. Once AMX is able reconnected, the second client will be terminated.

While ramping a Dimmer level, the actual level value is not reported until you have stopped ramping.

While issuing delayed lighting commands (such as a scene command perhaps), a light may be reported as On even though the actual physical light will not turn On until the delay time has expired.

While the H48 is in addressing/programming mode you cannot control any dimmers.

The DIMMERFLASH command seems to behave unexpectedly under the following conditions:

1.If a Dimmer address was just set for the first time, then by issuing a DIMMERFLASH Off command, the dimmer will toggle On/Off. If a DIMMERFLASH On command is issued, then the dimmer will properly start flashing. From that point on the DIMMERFLASH Off will work correctly.

2.If a dimmer address that has not been installed is used to issue a DIMMERFLASH Off command, the H48 will sometime report that dimmer as actively flashing. This seems to be an issue related to the current H48 firmware. You should not issue a DIMMERFLASH command to a non-existent (not installed) dimmer address.
