So I have a power outlet into which light is plugged in, dimmer on 0-10v output that dims the light, and schedule that controls the dimmer. outlet depend on dimmer off if off.

This all works fine (maybe not the best way to do it, but I do not want to power LED driver when dimmer is sending 0v, even though I suppose it is technically off anyways.

But anyways, now I want to add a switch to toggle light on whenever , possibly to some preset dimmer %, but can't see a way to do it. I can do an Input to outlet, which turns that one, but dimmer stays at whatever % it happens to be, which mostly would be 0% when I would want to turn this on. And I do not really see an obvious way to kick dimmer on (Variable Light).

Any suggestions if this is possible?
 
Ignore short light schedule =) it's not on a tank yet lol

Ok figured something out, not sure if best way, but seem to work.

Output that goes nowhere and turn on based on switch. Schedule that runs always at set brightness and depends on this output off when off. Seem to override normal schedule as well as i set it a bit brighter.
