Overview Block Style



This control element is used to realize a style switchover.

This control element comes in two variants, Presence operation and Standalone operation. Presence is linked to the corresponding logic block, see function block Structured Block Style, Standalone without linking. With Presence, the variables are linked to the function block, see also Presence general, with the Standalone variant directly with the control element. First create the corresponding function block and link the variables, then right-click on the control element and select the function block to link the control element.



Clicking the element displays the list of available styles. The currently active style is marked with a check mark. A click on an entry switches to the selected style.

In the Presence operation variant, the functions Time switch and Settings (Presence) are additionally accessible in the title bar of the dialog via the respective icons.

Time switch

With the Time switch function the style 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. As type Week clock, Date and Sunrise/Sunset can be selected; via the symbols Present, Absent and Holiday it is set when the switching time should be active. Under Execute, once or always can be selected.

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.

Presence

Via this dialog the style can be switched automatically when the Presence status changes (only in the Presence operation variant).

For each of the three states Present, Absent and Holiday it is set via the respective symbol whether a style should be set when switching to this state (dark background is active).
