What are you using as a gateway for the Dali?? I've recently built my home using Dynalite with a combination of din rail home run dimmers for some rooms and dali for others.? Purely used the dali because there were some large open areas in the house where I wasn't sure how I wanted to group the lights and dali gives me the flexibility to reconfigure circuits dynamically and add new circuits easily.?
One thing I will say is that beware that for home use, where lights are turned on/off quite often, dali is painfully slow.? Press my hall light switch and wait 2s for the lights to come on.? Alot of people turn lights on and think they didn't press the button properly as the light isn't instant and end up pressing the button again, turning the light back off.? There is no getting around the dali lag.?
Also the popcorn effect is somewhat annoying too.? 10 downlights in my hallway, all grouped as one dali circuit.? Turn them on and every light comes on at slightly different times. Fractions of a second but noticeable.?
Ramping lights up and down is very laggy also.? Try to stop ramping when the light level is where you want, release the button and ramping continues for a split second resulting in a higher or lower light level than you actually want.?
If I was doing my lighting again, everything would be home run dimmers and I would limit dali to just feature lighting.
I know this post provides zero information on programming? but thought I would share a few little gotchyas with the dali system.??
