11.04.24 - RFC 848 Ceiling Light

 

📋 Summary

This RFC proposes a fix for the ceiling light button on the MPC-101 Crestron panel located in the bedroom. The button is currently not functioning correctly, causing inconvenience to guests trying to control the bedroom ceiling light.

The fix involves updating the configuration file of the MPC-101 panel to ensure proper communication between the button and the lighting control system. This update will restore the intended functionality of the ceiling light button, allowing users to turn the bedroom ceiling light on and off from the Crestron panel.
