Components > Comfort > Presence simulation

The presence simulation is an invisible server component with the possibility to record switching operations of channelsn temporally and to give them time-synchronized if required. For example, an inhabited building is to be "simulated" by the playback operation.

The component can use up to 99 channels for recording and playback. Data suppliers can be arbitrary sources, whether internal signals, KNX data points or other drivers. Each channel is defined by a unique channel name.

The component constantly records the data. The save does not have to be activated.

Internally, the component has a "ring memory", i. H. the oldest data will be overwritten with new data after exceeding the set storage time. Only if there are recordings for the set storage time in the ring buffer, playback can take place over this period. Be, z. For example, if 14 days of storage time are set, but only 10 days are recorded, then only 10 days will be played, and on the "empty" 4 days, nothing will be played back.

In order to use the playback function of the component at least one complete day (> 24h) must be recorded. If you select 7 or 14 days in the parameter Storage time, playback will be synchronized with the day of the week.

Data points of the component

Name	Type	function
Dynamic - Channelname - Channel_Playback - Channel_StatusInput	Folder Bidirectional Bidirectional Input	Folder Dynamic displays the data points for the defined channels. These must be linked here. Each channel has two bidirectional data points. - The data point with the channel name is used to input and output the desired signal. - Data points ending in "_Playback" enable (On) or disable (off) the playback of the corresponding channel. - You can also enter a status here.
Export	Input	Create the folder path or name of the export file here. Triggering this input triggers the export process.
Import/Export result	Output	Text output as status message whether the import or export was successful or failed. To display the text, we recommend using the display component Value-dependent text with its value-display input.
Import	Input	Create the folder path or name of the import file here. Triggering this input triggers the import process.
Activate Simulation	Input	If an ON signal is applied to this input, playback of the recorded events begins. When an off signal is applied, playback stops.
Clear Simulation data	Input	If an ON signal is applied to this input, the recorded events are deleted. The ring buffer is then emptied and must be refilled.
State	Output	Text output during recording and playback as information as to which recording day is currently being played or how many days have been recorded.
Activate time-lapse	Input	If an ON signal is applied to this input during the activated simulation, the events will not be output synchronized with time, but immediately at the set time-lapse interval.

Properties

Name	Standard	function
Channels	0	Here the individual channels are defined in a list. These then appear as a channel in the data point Folder Dynamic.
Speicherzeit [Tage]	1	Here the size of the ring buffer is selected in 1 - 14 days.
Zeitrafferintervall [s]	1	The stored events are output at this distance when the component is in the simulation and the time-lapse has been activated.
