The button is a Visible Client component. It is used for display and operation.
The button can display the states On / Off / Undefined, each with different representation, color and text. Values or texts can be displayed within the control area.
The component, like an EIB / KNX button, can distinguish between short and long operation.
The short press (less than the set time "Send value to [ms]") always triggers the data point "SwitchOutput".
If the parameter "Send value after [ms]" is changed to a value greater than 0 ms, the set value is sent to the data point "Value On" when pressed and when released, the value is sent to the data point "Value Off" , This makes it possible to realize classic functions such as "switching and relatively dim" for lighting circuits or "driving and stopping" for blinds.
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.
The button can also be used to display variable values. By entering a factor, you can z. For example, also use for display and brightness values of 0 - 100% (### 0 "%"), as well as the display of temperatures # 0.0 "° C". The formatting in fields "Text On / Off / Undefined" can also be used to specify units. These must be defined in "characters, before and after the unit.
Note: When using the % sign, this must always be in uppercase characters ("%"). Otherwise, the arithmetic operation% (division by 100) is executed.

Name |
Type |
Function |
Lock operation (display only) |
Input |
If this input is not used, the component can be operated normally. If the input is connected with an on-signal, the component will be locked can not be operated. It only has display function. The locked state of a component is displayed, with a padlock sign on a slightly gray background. |
Mouseover |
Output |
Sends out an On signal, if you hover over the component with the mouse pointer. |
Input |
||
Visible |
Input |
If this input is not used, the component is always visible. The component can be made invisible with an off signal on this datapoint and visible with an on-signal on this data point. |
Mouse over function |
Input |
Switches the mouse over function on/off |
Status input |
Input |
Changes the status of the button |
Switch |
Bidirectional |
When the component is pressed, the selected function is output at the switching data point. The settings Alternating On/Off, Always On, Always Off and Press On / Release Off are possible. This data point is always triggered by a short actuation. |
Value on (press) |
Output |
Sends value set in parameter on press |
Value on (release) |
Output |
Sends value set in parameter on release |
Value Display |
Input |
value is displayed on the button |
Properties

Switch |
Toggle on/off |
When the component is actuated, the selected function is output at the switching data point. The settings Switch On / Off, Always On, Always Off and Press On / Release Off are possible. This setting applies when the button is pressed briefly. |
Send value after [ms] |
0 |
After this time, the operation is recognized as a "long press" and not the switching data point triggered, but the value outputs. When pressed, after the specified time, in milliseconds, the "value On (Press)" is triggered. When released, the output "value off (release)" is triggered. |
Value On (press) |
|
Here, the arbitrary value is selected which is output at the output. |
Value Off (release) |
|
Here, the arbitrary value is selected which is output at the output. |
Factor |
1 |
Incoming values at the "Value display" input are multiplied by this value before they are displayed. |
Change display only via status input |
|
If this parameter is set, the display status On / Off will only be changed via the signal at the status input. Pressing the button does not change the display. |
Lock operation (display only) |
|
If this parameter is set, the component can not be operated. It then has only display function. |
