Dynamic Folder:

Below the folder "Dynamic", the data points are created to control the existing devices. Here, the device hierarchy is taken into account, with the top level mapping the rooms. Below the rooms there are two data points, which again reflect the room name and the type. There is also a subfolder with the "Categories" available in this room. The data points of the devices belonging to the various categories are very different and are listed here by way of example for a "Lighting Controller". The structure of the data points is analogous for the other types. For details refer to the Loxone documentation. In the link "Structure File" under https://www.loxone.com/dede/kb/api/ there is a PDF that describes all controls with their properties. These are shown 1: 1 in the EisBaer.

Below the "Lighting" category is the "Controls" folder. This folder contains all controls of the "Lighting" category that are assigned to the room (in this case, the "Lighting Controller" control).

Each control has the subfolders "States" and "Commands" (if available) as well as further subfolders for any associated "Subcontrols" (in this case "Colour"), which in turn are structured analogously.

The "Commands" folder contains data points to perform control-specific actions (e.g. setting a lighting scene).

The "States" folder contains data points that reflect the various control-specific states (in this case, for example, the current lighting mood).
