1.6 digitalSTROM colour scheme
The application possibilities of digitalSTROM are very varied. To make orientation easier for the planners, electricians etc. and to make their work as uncomplicated as possible, the digitalSTROM Devices are classified into different colour groups. Each colour group stands for a specific field of application.
This colour scheme is continued through to the housing colours of the digitalSTROM terminal blocks.
Comments on joker (black)
The joker (black) area of application is a universal terminal block that allows digitalSTROM Devices to be reconfigured to any other digitalSTROM colour (e.g. yellow for Light). To make full use of the many possibilities of the digitalSTROM colour concept, the colour group should always be adapted to the use of the connected consumer.
If a digitalSTROM Device is configured for the joker (black) area of application, the digitalSTROM Device will only respond to higher-level activities such as «Leaving home» or «Deep Off».
If a digitalSTROM push button block joker (black) is configured for the joker (black) area of application, it can be used as a direct trigger in a digitalSTROM Server app (e.g. Event Responder). Using the wall push button you can call up a variety of activities and use the same User Defined Actions as on your smartphone.
The joker (black) area of application can therefore be used to integrate consumers in a digitalSTROM system that cannot be covered by the available digitalSTROM colours, although they should respond to higher-level activities. Typically these are devices that require a constant power supply during operation, but are switched off during absence.
Furthermore the digitalSTROM push button block joker (black) can also be configured as a trigger for higher-level activities such as «Leaving home» or
«Ringing». See also chapter
