Controller

The slider is a Visible Client component. It is used for display and operation.

 

The controller can output a wide variety of values as control signals or display values. It is usually used in conjunction with 8-bit brightness values, dimmed consumers or as a temperature setpoint.

Values are generally sent when the controller is released (mouseUp).

 

The display styles of the controller are identical to the setting in the editor only in the PC client. On Android and iOS devices it can come here to the deviations. Not all styles are available for the mobile clients. If you want to achieve exactly the same appearance, please use the animated slider with specific graphics.

 

An on / off command at the data point "Visible" allows the component to be shown or hidden (Visible / Unvisible). An on command switches the component Visible, an off command unvisible.
