A multifunction control that can display and increase/decrease a value. It can also send a stop command. This control can fulfill different tasks:
- Value adjuster, e.g. threshold value
In this case, you only enter channels for the display value and +/- command - Central control for blinds
In this case, you do not specify a channel for the display value, as a +/- command you specify the channel that triggers the raising/lowering of the blinds and possibly a channel that stops the blinds.
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).
Functions #
| Channel | Function |
|---|---|
| Display value | Channel whose value is displayed (optional) |
| +/- Command | Channel to which the changed value is sent |
| Stop command | Channel to which a stop command is sent (optional) |
Display unit #
Defines the unit in which values are displayed. If the field is left empty, the unit specified by the channel from which the value comes is used. If the unit is specified differently, X2 attempts to convert the value for the display into the specified unit. If a conversion is not possible, the unit of the channel is displayed.
Values #
The values that the control uses for the +/- and Stop functions can be configured here ( specify channel values )
| Field | Function |
|---|---|
| Increase | The value that is used for incrementing. If not specified, the value depends on the data type of the command channel. |
| Humiliate | The value that is used for decreasing. Note that the value is added, so you should specify a negative value. If not specified, the value depends on the data type of the command channel. |
| Stop | The value that is sent to the stop command. If not specified, true is used. |
