Before you can control the lights (or small appliances, etc.) connected to the receiver modules with the transmitter, you may need to program different buttons on the transmitter to various receiver modules. It is a lot easier if you plan in advance of how to setup your system.

The Deluxe Transmitter can transmit 3 types of command:

1) Individual Operation - Controls one light only, i.e. the ceiling light in the family room

2) Zone Operation - Controls one specific zone or area, which consists of multiple lights, i.e. all lights in the kitchen

3) All On / All Off - Controls all lights in the premises, i.e. all lights in the house connected with SkylinkHome lighting modules.
