Pushbuttons

Momentary switches are pushswitches which make contact only when they are pressed. Releasing the button wil make it go to to the neutral position. The advantage of a momentary switch is that it will always returns to the same position. So if you switch a light via  your smartphone or tablet, the switch continues to work the same way. In a conventional switch it would change the on position. Furthermore, it is also possible to make a distinction between brief and long-pressed commands. A short press switches the light on and off. A long press will dim the lamp alternately up or down. With a FIBARO dimmer it is even possible to run a scene with a double and triple click. This allows the lamp can be set to 100% at one time, or scenes can be initiated by the two or three times in quick succession pressing the switch.
