Overview Block Contact monitoring



This control element shows at a glance whether a window or a door is still open in the building.

It shows a coloured ring with the window symbol in the middle; ring and symbol carry the same colour: green = everything closed, yellow = something tilted, orange = something open, red = a warning is pending or a contact has been open for too long, grey = the state of at least one contact is still unknown. Above the ring the state is shown as text, that is the number of open and tilted contacts or "everything closed". At the bottom the designation of the control element is shown. The tile is square and follows the grid of the page like all block elements.

Clicking the control element opens the list of all contacts. Each row shows room, name, state and the duration since the last change; the duration keeps running in the display. Open and tilted contacts are always listed first. If the list is longer than the window, it can be moved with the mouse wheel or by dragging.

At the bottom of the window there are two round switches next to "Close". On both of them only the symbol changes, the button itself stays the same.

The button on the left switches the sorting between room and duration. The button on the right switches the push notification of the controller on and off. This setting belongs to the controller: it applies to all devices and is kept after a restart.

The evaluation runs in the function block Block Contact monitoring; this control element only displays it. It has to be linked to the function block: first create the function block, generate the variable links and then right-click the control element to select the function block from the menu. The variables and the contact list are taken over automatically.



Display
Display Display as block, on the basic screen or as a list entry.
Text Text to be displayed. The size of the text is scaled automatically with the control element.

Variable links


The variables (status, number open, number tilted) are taken over automatically through the link with the function block, see function block Block Contact monitoring. The list of contacts comes directly from the controller and does not use group addresses.
