Dave,
The Switchlinc can easily be programmed from the switch itself. It only requires a sequence to reset it and to program ramp rates more than 9 seconds (can be programmed up to 9 min. with a O16,P16,N16,M16,M16 sequence. As long as you can send out these codes, you will be fine. It’s a lot easier to program with a Maxi-controller or Touchlinc although they are not required.

Simon,
If the IR543 is not working the switch, it is probably not effectively sending a sequence to it. Can you program a few macros in your Active home software to send out the sequences? If so, you could use any type of remote to trigger the sequence. Another suggestion is to unplug all the suppressers and retry the IR543.

The Switchlinc will respond to All light on, All lights off, Status request and preset dims along with on, off and bright and dims.
