When gateway is added to a network, or new devices added to network (and become part of "Control scope"), for DALI Gateway the units are detected as "available/online" but initially such devices are unaddressed.
- "Initialize/Extend device addresses" in the DALI Configuration menu is the action the should be executed; all devices in the scope should end up with A0..A63 given to them.
- "Clear DALI devices" may be wanted if the list is outdated and set of devices has changed, but it only does local clearing of what apps show (no effect on DALI Gateway)
- "Scan DALI devices" then will find all [new] devices and corresponding DALI Ax -> Unit ID / Name mapping is visible in the list
- Also "Network setup" -> "Reports" view has
- Also "Network setup" -> "Reports" view has
Automatic addressing could be a nice feature to have, but it may make the DALI system a bit chaotic and sensitive to accidental changes (controllers may not handle that well) and it is generally better to have the addressing an explicit action.
