Buttons
The RAP-B511 has 11 configurable buttons, and two main button states
are defined:
Pressed
and
Released.
Operation mode
is an attribution of the button, which declares the button
behavior when it is pressed or released. Three different operation modes
are available:
momentary, toggle
and
radio group (1-5)
.
The chosen
operation mode
defines how the
interaction state
changes when the button is pressed or released
(see the details about it in the table on the right). The true or false value of the
interaction state
triggers the
button LED function and the desired action.
Momentary operation mode
Simple button function, when the button is pressed, the action will be executed.
Example
: Roll down the shades with keeping the button pressed. When the button is released, the shades stop.
Explanation

interaction state changes false.
Toggle operation mode
This button type toggles between two states.
Example
: Turn on and off the light with one button.
Explanation
: When the button is pressed, the interaction state changes true, when the button is released, the
interaction state does not change. When the button is pressed once again, the interaction state changes false.
Radio group operation mode

groups are available, one group may contain max. 11 buttons.
