Anyone have the Onyx and controlled by the RA+? I just ordered one of the light fixtures, I'm assuming I will need the dimming module.

Am I able to do sunrise/sunset effect?

Thanks.

As long as its controllable then you can do sunrise/sunset. You only need the dimming module if you need more dimming ports

Does RA ramp up slowly (in 1% increments) or does it jump to each percent we program it to?

If you set it to 50% then it will go immediately to 50%. If you want a sunrise/sunset simulation then you can use something like PWMSlope which ramps up and down over whatever period of time you specify.

We have the capability of doing 4095 increments from 0-100 on the dimming module or 256 increments on the built in ports.

PWMSlope - is that only for PWM dimming? Because the Onyx units are Analog from my understanding. Or is that just the label?

Just the name.

Cool. Thanks everyone. Just placed my order for a dimming expansion. I'm sure I'll have more questions when I get that in.
