Create or Modify an Event
Wizard Mode
The wizard mode lists the most common conditions
and actions, so the user does not have to look for LW3
nodes and properties.
Step 1.
Click on the
Edit
button of the desired Event;
the
Event editor
is displayed.
Step 2.
The wizard mode is displayed as default.
Select the desired
Category
first (e.g. Audio or
Video).
Step 3.
Select the desired
Expression
from the
drop-down menu. If any other parameter is
necessary to set, it is going to be displayed.
Step 4.
Press the
Apply
button to store the settings of
the Condition.
INFO:
This mode is also available for setting the
Action
.
Advanced Mode
The goal of this mode is the same as of the wizard: set the properties and methods for conditions and
actions. The difference is the number of the available and usable properties and methods of the LW3
protocol. Advanced mode allows almost all of it.
Step 1.
Click on the
Edit
button of the desired Event;
the
Event editor
is displayed.
Step 2.
The wizard mode is the default, press the
Advanced
button. The LW3 protocol tree is
displayed showing the list of the properties
in the drop-down menu. Navigate to the
desired node.
Step 3.
Select the desired
Property
from the menu.
The
manual
of the property is displayed
below to help to select the necessary
property and to set the value.
Step 4.
Set the desired
value
and
operator
, then
press the
Apply
button to store settings.
INFO:

The Link Tool
The new interface allows creating more actions for the
same condition. In that case, a condition can trigger
more actions. To set such an Event, the Link tool has
been introduced.
Step 1.
Click on the
Edit
button of the desired Event; the
Event editor
is displayed.
Step 2.
The wizard mode is displayed as default, press
the
Link
button.
Step 3.
All the saved Events are analyzed and the
conditions
are listed (it takes some seconds to
finish). The
Show advanced
expressions
option
allows showing the exact path and set the value
of the given property.
Step 4.
Select the desired
Condition
and press the
Apply
button to store the settings.
INFO:
This mode is also available for setting the
Action
.
Combine Links
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available from FW package v1.3.0b5.
The first generation of the Event Manager
is able to sense a change (one condition)
but in some cases that is not enough. The
practical experience has shown there is a
need to examine more conditions as follows:
if one of the set conditions becomes true
(while the other conditions are fulfilled),
then the set Action is launched. The
Combine
Links
tool allows setting these Conditions.
Follow the steps below:
Step 1.
Create individual
Conditions
in
separate Events.
Step 2.
Create a new Event and navigate to
the
Combine Links
tab in the Editor.
Step 3.
Select up to four
Conditions
in the
left
panel.
Step 4.
Set the desired
Action
(and do not
forget to
enable
the Events).
INFO:
This mode is available for setting
the
Condition only
.
