A long shot I know, but is anyone familiar with this lighting system?

It's an installation that is 12 years old and listed as 'obsolete' on the Philips website.

I just need to set a new scene with one light (Chandalier over table) switched on. It is already on its own circuit, but comes on with all the other lights.

The manual says it is possible to program via the switches but I couldn't get them to enter program mode.

There is an RJ45 socket on the bottom of the board so I'm thinking these need a laptop to be programmed.

Any and all advice appreciated!
 
Though this is an old topic, I didn't want to leave it unanswered, in case anyone in future has a similar question.

Your right, it does require you too be computer savvy, have a laptop, a special interface and training in the software, for anything but the most basic functions the software is counter-intuative.

Though they say it obsolete they are not being completely truthful, though they have a new protocal available you find almost all the dynalite kit still uses the same old protocol so it can be connected in, but unless you have the knowledge and kit to set it up, you'll need a techniction to do it for you, an independant thats been doing it from before phillips is best as there current engineer won't be familiar with old kit,
 
Thanks for replying to this, at least I definitely know now it's not worth the cost/benefit analysis makes it a non-starter!
