Id
The number under which the trigger is stored internally. This field is read-only and empty when you create a new trigger.
Name
The name of the trigger.
Comment
The comment field is available for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It serves exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the element, notes on the connected hardware, room/floor and other special features. The content of this field has no significance for X2.
Dead Time
A period of time during which re-triggering of this trigger is suppressed after it has fired. The dead time allows you to suppress multiple triggering if the triggering event occurs again within this period.
One example is when you trigger an action, e.g. when a doorbell is pressed, and do not want this action to occur multiple times if the visitor rings repeatedly. In this example, the dead time determines the minimum time that must elapse after the first ring before the system responds to ringing again.
Triggering Edges
Here you select which edges the trigger responds to:
| Edge | Description |
|---|---|
| Rising (Strict) | When the value of a channel changes from false to true |
| Rising (Weak) | When the value of a channel changes from invalid to true (this is the case, for example, when no value was yet available for the channel and it is then set to true) |
| Falling (Strict) | When the value of a channel changes from true to false |
| Falling (Weak) | When the value of a channel changes from invalid to false (see above) |
Triggering Channels
Here you select the channels whose values this trigger should respond to.
