A multifunction control that can display a value and increase/decrease it. It can also send a stop command. This control can perform various tasks:
- Value setter, e.g. threshold
In this case, only specify channels for the display value and the +/- command - Central control for blinds
In this case, do not specify a channel for the display value; for the +/- command, specify the channel that triggers raising/lowering of the blinds and, if applicable, 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 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 stored here, e.g. the purpose of the control, remarks, room/floor and other special features. 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 additional, rarely needed settings can be made (timer lock, override 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 defined by the channel from which the value originates is used. If a different unit is specified, X2 attempts to convert the value to the specified unit for display. If conversion is not possible, the channel's unit is displayed.
Values
Here you can configure the values the control uses for the +/- and Stop functions (specify channel values).
| Field | Function |
|---|---|
| Increase | The value used for increasing. If not specified, the value depends on the data type of the command channel. |
| Decrease | The value 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 sent to the stop command. If not specified, true is used. |
