Lessons

Below are a few PowerPoint demonstrations of using various parts of ControlSoft. While based on an earlier version of ControlSoft, they are still quite relevent.

We recommend at least doing Lesson1-The Basics, as this gives a fundamental understanding of how to achieve things in ControlSoft, and much of the other functionality can be fairly intuitive, especially when used in conjunction with the help files.


Lesson 1 - The Basics Show the basics in ControlSoft, how to quickly control an area and presets, as well as how to build a simple macro Lesson1 - The Basics.PPS
Multi State Buttons Shows how ControlSoft can change the labels, colours and functions of its buttons and respond to messages on the system Multi State Buttons.PPS
Sunrise and Sunset Shows how to use the ControlSoft Scheduler to be able to Schedule events at or near Sunset and/or Sunrise Sunrise Sunset.PPS

RollCall A more advanced function in ControlSoft. This allows the user to periodically check for devices working properly on the network, and email reports about devices that are missing or not responding. RollCall.PPS
DigiLin Commands

A more advanced function in ControlSoft. This feature was specifically written to make control of 3channel Digilin boxes more easily controlled via the Dynalite Bridges.
