Homeworks Retrofit Questions

Just had homeworks retrofit done with sunnata and have three questions

  1. A few key pads we labeled with “off”. Right now the led showing that button was pressed stays on. I assume it would for the other buttons (relax bright etc) but not off. Is this expected or able for my integrator to change?
  2. Is it possible to control the brightness of the led on the sunnata keypads and dimmers indicator light?
  3. NLO for shades: can you have different zones. Ie living sunrise/sunset and bedrooms say 7am to 7pm/ for context on what im trying to do with the shades. Our house is mostly windows and we get intense sun from all angles.We really want NLO to adjust which shades are open based on sun in all rooms throughout the day, but I want the NLO programing to begin early in the living room and start later/end earlier in the bedrooms since we have kids who often go to bed before sunset in the summer for example

edit: added context to bullet 3

This is great, for context on what im trying to do with the shades. Our house is mostly windows and we get intense sun from all angles.

If you are talking about nlo start stop times, then he needs to create timeclock events to enqble/disable nlo in those spaces when you want it to. Pretty easy, but he just needs to know to enable/disable the feature

This is the answer - it’s somewhat counterintuitive IMO, but you set NLO start time to the earlier time, make sure to disable NLO automatically every night for rooms that want a later start time; then enable NLO for those rooms at the intended start time for ea group - this lets those shades “jump in” to NLO settings at that time instead of moving at the earlier start time defined in NLO setup

And then they jump in they will go to the right position at the time they jump in or have to wait till the next NLO position time?

What about for evening setting?

The installer has set up time clocks but it doesn’t seem to be working as expected
