The Light Control is a multifunctional control for all types of light switches. It can work as a simple on/off switch, dimmer and/or color controller. Which control functions the control makes available depends on the functions for which channels are specified.
Id #
The Id field shows the internal number of the control and its type. The number is for display purposes only and is determined automatically by the system. The control type cannot be changed subsequently.
Name #
The name of the control. The name is displayed in selection lists and for most control types also directly to the user as a label.
Comment #
The comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the control, comments, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.
Options/Customize #
Timer: If the control supports timers, the timer can be activated with the checkbox.
Widget size: Sets the size of the tile for the control in the widget/tile view. If the combo box is empty, a standard size is used for the control type, which provides a good display in most application scenarios.
Further options: Opens a dialog in which additional, rarely required settings can be made (timer lock, overwrite colors).
