The Light control is a multifunction control for any type of light switch. It can act as a simple on/off switch, dimmer and/or color controller. Which control functions the control provides depends on which functions have channels assigned.
Id
The Id field shows the internal number of the control and its type. The number is for display 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, also directly to the user as a label.
Comment
The Comment field is 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 particulars. The content of this field has no meaning 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 default size for the control type is used, which provides a good display in most scenarios.
More options: Opens a dialog in which further, rarely needed settings can be made (timer lock, override colors).
