Id #

The number under which the trigger is saved internally. This field is only for viewing and is empty when you create a new trigger.

Name #

The name of the trigger.

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 element, comments on the connected hardware, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.

Dead time #

A period of time that suppresses the re-triggering of this trigger after it has been triggered. You can use the dead time to suppress multiple triggering if the triggering event occurs again within this time.

An example would be if you trigger an action, e.g. when a doorbell is pressed, and do not want this action to take place several times if the visitor rings the doorbell several times. In this example, you use the dead time to determine the minimum time that must elapse after the first ring before the doorbell is answered again.

Also trigger when updating with the same value #

If this checkbox is not set, the trigger is always activated when the value of the triggering channel changes. However, depending on the technology, it may well be that the channel is updated more frequently, but the value remains the same (e.g. regularly reporting sensor). Set the checkbox to trigger the trigger whenever the value is updated.
