Block Color picker Block Color picker| This
control element provides
a color picker. This control element is available in two variants, Presence operation and Standalone operation. Presence is connected to the corresponding logic block, see function block Structured Block RGBW, Standalone without connection. With Presence, the variables are connected to the function block, see also Presence general, with the Standalone variant directly with the control element. First create the corresponding function block and connect the variables, then right-click the control element and select the function block to connect the control element. The variables must be of type EIS 6 - 0-100%. |
In the control element the desired color is selected via the color wheel. The white component can be set via the slider, provided that a white channel is connected at the function block.
With the lower elements preset colors can be recalled. These can also be changed. To store a new color, set the corresponding color and click long on the element, after 2 seconds the value is saved.
In the title bar of the dialog the functions Time switch, Presence and Settings are accessible via the respective icons. These are only available in the Presence operation variant.
With the Time switch function the color light can be switched time-controlled. To add a new switching time, press the symbol at the bottom left, to delete switching times, click on the symbol at the bottom right.
Using the calendar icon in the switching time list, switching times can be imported from a calendar file (iCal, *.ics) - via a link (including Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox), from a file or from the clipboard. One on (value 1) and one off (value 0) switching time are created per event. For details on the import see Block Time switch; where to find the calendar links in the respective services is described in the help of the Holiday time clock.
In the first row the symbols for clock type and presence are shown. On the left side the clock type is set. As type Week clock, Date and Sunrise/Sunset can be selected. On the right side it is set when the switching time should be active. Present, Absent and Holiday. This way it can for example be selected that a switching time is only executed when you are present, but not when Absent or on Holiday. If none of the three symbols is active, the switching time is not executed.
Under Execute, once or always can be selected. With once, after execution the symbols Present, Absent and Holiday are deactivated again and thus the switching time is also deactivated.
If the brightness input of the function block is linked, switching times of type weekly clock offer an additional Brightness setting that determines when the switching time is executed: Always, When bright or When dark. The corresponding thresholds are defined in the settings under Brightness. Without a linked brightness input the selection is not shown and the switching time is always executed.
The configured time is the earliest possible switching moment. If the condition is already fulfilled at that time (for example it is already dark at 19:00), switching happens immediately. If it is not yet fulfilled, the switching time is queued and executed as soon as bright or dark is detected - in the example only at nightfall. The queued switching time expires after six hours; if it does not get dark by then, no switching takes place. It is also discarded as soon as another switching time of the same element is executed - the more recent switching time always takes precedence. The brightness is checked every ten seconds. If Execute: Once is set as well, the switching time is only used up after it has actually switched.
Via this dialog a color can be set for each of the three states Present, Absent and Holiday that is executed when switching to this state. Via the respective symbol it is set whether a value should be executed when switching to this state (dark background is active).
Settings are made via this dialog.
This setting is only available if a value has been connected at the input of the function block. Here two thresholds define from when on a distinction is made between Bright and Dark. This switching threshold applies to all settings on the control element in which Bright/Dark can be selected.
The presence simulation can be used to switch the light on/off during absence to simulate that the building is inhabited and thus deter potential burglars. The light is here switched on/off randomly.
With the symbols for Present, Absent and Holiday it is set whether the simulation should be started.
