Link’nX web: detail windows of the scenario creation or edit form

In the scenario creation or edit form, the Triggers detail, Conditions detail and Actions details buttons open a window that shows the details sheet of each item. They are in the Triggers, Conditions and Actions headers. These windows are for viewing; some commands there also change the current scenario.

Intended for administrators and installers who build or review a scenario.

  1. Click Triggers detail.
  2. In the Selected list tab, choose an item in Selected trigger list to show its details sheet. The Full list tab shows the other triggers offered, grouped by type.
  3. For the item displayed, check or uncheck Selected for scenario: the item is added to the scenario or removed from it. The change applies to the current form.
  4. Click outside the window, or press Esc, to return to the form. Check the Triggers chips: at least one trigger must remain selected to save.
  1. Click Conditions detail. The Condition list window opens.
  2. Choose a condition in Condition to show its details sheet. This choice is for viewing only: the condition is not added to the scenario.
  3. Close the window by clicking outside it or pressing Esc. To apply a condition, choose it in the Date condition, Time condition, Day/Night condition or KNX condition field of the main form.

To confirm the weekdays and months of a Days and Months condition, review its selections in the condition form. If a summary shows a difference, contact support before changing the rule.

  1. Click Actions details. The Action list window offers two tabs: Selected list and Full list.
  2. In Selected list, choose an occurrence in Action to show its details sheet.
  3. Change its Delay, expressed in seconds, using a whole number zero or greater. The change applies to this occurrence in the current scenario.
  4. Then check the hh:mm:ss display of its card in the main form. For example, 90 seconds are shown as 00:01:30.
  1. In Actions details, open Full list and choose the action in Action.
  2. Fill in Delay in seconds.
  3. For a KNX action, leave Override value unchecked to use the configured value.
  4. Click Add action. The window returns to Selected list.
  5. Close it by clicking outside it or pressing Esc, then check the new card and its position in the sequence.

The KNX Value field and the Override value checkbox define a value specific to one occurrence in the scenario. If the action has several addresses, check the effect of this value on each of them. For the order of actions and waits, use the delays guide.

After a detail window is closed, its changes stay in the form without being saved: previous selections and delays are not restored. Check the Triggers chips, the Actions cards and their delays in the main form, then save or discard your changes.

If an expected trigger is not offered in the window, return to the form and search for its name directly in Triggers. If it does not appear there either, check the context and whether it exists in the general trigger list.

If a trigger still cannot be found or a details sheet does not contain the information you need, contact support@can-nx.com, specifying the product, the item type, the name you are looking for and the parameter you need to understand.
