Flag
Flags are created for control buttons to include parameters for when settings
are changed or requests are made to change settings on a device. Flags indicate
what the status is and what action to take according to the value. Flags are
added as actions to
Button Properties as a Condition or Set Flag value.
Conditions tell a button to initiate associated actions if the flag value is true: “If
Flag equals Value ” initiate the action. Actions are associated with a condition
so that they only initiate if the flag value is correct. That way an ON command
is only sent to a device if the current flag value is OFF.
Set Flag changes the flag value when a device setting has changed. So that if a
device is OFF and the action turns the device ON, adding a “Set Flag 1 to ON”
will change the flag value to ON. Now the flag’s value matches the device
status so that actions associated with flag Conditions will initiate accordingly.
Create flags for a device and add them as a Condition and Set Flag value in the
Action – Button Properties (see Action , page 59).

1. Select Flag and click + New .

Š Select On/Off and use the drop-down menu to select the Default
Value .

drop-down menu to select the
