This control displays the value of a channel. The value is view-only; this control does not send any control commands.
Id
The Id field shows the internal number of the control and its type. The number is view-only and is assigned automatically by the system. The control type cannot be changed afterwards.
Name
The name of the control. The name is shown in selection lists and, for most control types, is also displayed directly to the user as a label.
Comment
The comment field is available for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It serves solely to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the control, remarks, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field has no significance for X2.
Options/Customize
Timer: If the control supports timers, the timer can be enabled 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 default size for the control type is used, which provides a good display in most use cases.
More options: Opens a dialog in which further, rarely needed settings can be made (timer lock, override colors).

Display Unit
Defines the unit in which values are displayed. If the field is left empty, the unit defined by the channel providing the value is used. If a different unit is specified, X2 attempts to convert the value to the specified unit for display. If a conversion is not possible, the unit of the channel is displayed.
