Linking a Macro (Action)
Macros stored in the device can be run
as Actions. Thus, a lot of commands
can be run by using only one Event. The
commands will be processed one-by-
one after each other. #macro
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the
desired Event; the Event editor is
displayed.
Step 2.
press the Macros button in the
Action panel.
Step 3. Select the desired Macro from
the list then press the Apply
button to store settings.
See more information about the Macro
settings in the Macros section.
Special Tools and Accessories
The Name of the Event
The name of a port can be changed by typing the new name and clicking the Set button. The following
characters are allowed when naming:
Enable or Disable an Event
The set Event can be enabled or disabled in the Event list, or directly in the Event editor window by setting
the tick mark beside the name.
Testing the Condition
a small panel that shows an indicator if the set condition is detected (or triggered). The detected mark turns
green for two seconds and the Counter is increased. The Counter is reset at boot or can be reset manually by
the button in Event editor.
Testing the Action
The method is the same as testing the Condition, but in this case, the Action can be triggered manually by
pressing the Test button.
TIPS AND TRICKS: The Test button is also placed on the Action panel in the Event list. Thus, you can
check the Actions without opening the Event editor.
Delay the Action
In most cases the Action is
performed immediately after
the Condition is detected. But
sometimes a delay is necessary
between the Condition and the
Action. Therefore, the new Event
manager contains the Delay panel
which allows that feature with
below settings:
▪ No delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched.
▪ Simple delay: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval.
▪ Still true after: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only if
the Condition still exists.
▪ Continuously true: when the Condition is detected, the Action is launched after the set time interval only
if the Condition has been existing continuously.
TIPS AND TRICKS: Show advanced expressions option is a useful tool when you look for the path or value of
a property but just the expression is displayed. The option is available in the Event list window and also
in the Editor.

Condition Triggering
This improvement works as if a
control system is built, a Condition may
trigger numerous Actions. A typical
example is when a system is powered
loaded. In this case, there could be many actions which are based on the same condition. In order to reduce
