Overview Block Switch universal


This control element realizes a button with the states on/off. In contrast to the Button universal control element, this
control element can be used with the style switchover. For example, with Block Frame you can create your own control elements in the Block style.

The on state applies when the value of the connected variable matches the parameter Value for on, otherwise the state is off. With this function, this control element can also send, for example, 0 and 100 for on/off.
