**Dimmer Control:**

- `Dimmer Automatic Control`: ON/OFF switch to select automatic routing mode or manual control of the dimmer.
Resistance calibration step is required before using automatic mode.
- `Dimmer Level` / `Dimmer Level Manual Control`: Slider to control the dimmer level manually. Only available when the dimmer is not in automatic mode. Otherwise the dimmer level is displayed.
- `Grid Excess Reserved`: Only available in automatic mode. Allows to share the remaining grid excess to the second output.
For example, if output 1 is set to 50%, then output 1 will take at most 50% of the grid excess (eventually less if 50% of the grid excess exceeds the nominal power of the connected load). Output 2 will be dimmed with the remaining excess.

### Resistance Calibration

The router **needs to know the resistance value of the load**. There several ways to set it.

1. **Measure yourself:** You can manually enter the resistance values in the `Hardware Config` page.
If you chose to do so, be careful to put a value that you have correctly measured!
An approximation will cause the router to not properly work because it won't be able to adjust the exact amount of power to send.
The router **needs to know the resistance value of the load**.

- `Output 1 Resistance`: the resistance value in Ohm of the load connected to Output 1
- `Output 2 Resistance`: the resistance value in Ohm of the load connected to Output 2

Be careful to put a value that you have correctly measured!
An approximation will cause the router to not properly work because it won't be able to adjust the exact amount of power to send.

If you have one of these device attached, they can help you.
You can set the dimmer in manual mode and set it to 50% and 100% and read the resistance values.
Then you just have to report it in the `Hardware Config` page.

2. **PZEM-004T v3:** If you have wired a PZEM-004T v3 connected to each output, it will measure the resistance value when routing.
In this case, **you do not have to enter any value**, leave the fields to 0.
The PZEM will measure the resistance value while routing.

3. **JSY-MK-194T:** If you have a JSY-MK-194T, you can manually activate the dimmer one by one to 100% and wait about 5 seconds for the values to stabilize.
3. **JSY-MK-194T:** If you have a JSY-MK-194T, you can activate the dimmer one by one to 100% and wait for the values to stabilize.
The router will then display the resistance value in the `Overview` page, thanks to the JSY.
You just have to report it in the `Hardware Config` page.
