Output controls (relays, switches)

An output is a relay, a switch or a mode that the device controls. You change it from the card in the device list or from the device page.

You need: Control, Manage or owner access to the device. See sharing.

Change an output

The type of button depends on the device:

• Switch: click it to turn the output on or off. For example, HAM Plug and Relay.
• Mode buttons: click a mode, for example OFF, COOL, HEAT or AUTO. The active mode has a colour.
• Target temperature: drag the slider or click − and +.
• Speed: drag the slider.

Each change is saved immediately. The settings:

• Name: the name of the output.
• Show name: shows the name next to the button.
• Auto turn-off: the output turns off by itself after the time that you set. This also applies when you turn the output on with the button on the device. Set 0 to turn it off.
• Power on value: the state of the output, inactive or active, when the device starts.
• Min and Max: the limits of the target temperature.
• Allowed modes: the modes that show. At least one must stay.
• Minimum temperature and Maximum temperature: the limits for the air conditioner.
• Confirm output changes: the app asks before the output changes.
• PIN Code: the app asks for the code before the output changes.

Only the settings that apply to the output show.

Tip

Auto turn-off is useful for pumps, water heaters and lights. The output turns off even if you forget to turn it off.

Protection from a wrong click

1. Open the settings of the output.
2. Turn on Confirm output changes.
3. For more protection, type a PIN Code.
4. Click Save.

After that, the app asks for confirmation before each change. The question shows, for example, “Turn on” and the name of the output. With a PIN, the app shows “Please enter PIN Code”.

Caution

The PIN code protects against a wrong click in the app. It is not a security measure. To stop a person from changing the outputs, give them View access. See sharing.

Hide an output

In edit mode, the eye next to the output switches its visibility between default, hidden and shown.

Automatic control

• For control at set times, see schedules.
• For control from a reading, for example the temperature, see create a rule.
• For control of many outputs with one click, see scenes.
• For outputs that change together, see Follow in groups.
