Button Types

There are 3 types of buttons:

  1. ROCKER - A rocker button has two contacts, either vertically or horizontally. One contact can be used to “turn on” (press) or “dim up” (long press). Another contact can be used to “turn off” (press) or “dim down” (long press).
  2. TOGGLE - A toggle button has only one contact. The function can alternate between “on” and “off” (or “dim on/dim off” for long press). Depending on the current state, the next action triggers the opposite state.
  3. MOMENTUM - A momentum button only stays on when pressed, when not pressed it stays off. An example is the ring button.

Note: Momentum button is not supported now. More gestures will be supported in a future firmware update.
