Buttons

A powerful feature of the OmniLT is the ability to program Buttons. A Button (also known as macro) is a number on the keypad that is programmed to run a series of commands when it is pressed. Buttons are used to program functions that are specific to your home and lifestyle.

Using a button, you can activate several commands at once. You can personalize 16 buttons with descriptive names. Following are some examples of programmed Buttons:

Leave for Work (Button 1):

-turn off all lights

-set thermostat to energy saving settings

-arm the security system in the Away mode

Go to Bed (Button 2):

-turn off all lights

-dim outdoor lights 20% to extend bulb life and reduce consumption

-arm security in Night mode
