5.4 Create rooms and assign devices
The distribution of power circuits in existing electric installations often does not correspond to the architectural allocation of rooms.
Thanks to digitalSTROM, digitalSTROM devices can be controlled independently of the electrical power circuit and the architectural floor plan and be freely allocated. For each electrical power circuit or respectively per digitalSTROM Meter up to 16 rooms can be covered.
Once the digitalSTROM devices have been configured and allocated to a room (e.g. reading corner or dining table), you can save for this room specific activities/presets (e.g. lighting presets for reading or dining) which can be called up with light push buttons.
Depending on the function of the digitalSTROM push button block presets can be called up for a device connected directly to the output (device push button), an area in a room (area push button) or for the whole room (room push button)
Unless you have already renamed your digitalSTROM devices in the Hardware main section, you should allocate a unique name to each of them based on the previously noted dSID. This facilitates the subsequent configuration of digitalSTROM Devices and presets.
By default one room is created for each digitalSTROM Meter during installation. This room should be renamed first and used as room with most digitalSTROM devices. digitalSTROM devices later added physically to the system and registered are allocated by default to this room.
Create additional rooms and give them explanatory, unique names.
Allocate digitalSTROM devices to the created rooms by Drag & Drop.
If all digitalSTROM devices in the room belong to an already existing room of another power circuit, all terminal blocks should be moved together via Drag & Drop to the other room.
The digitalSTROM push button block can be configured in the main section Hardware of the digitalSTROM configurator or by an inching command on the local push button (see chapter 5.3.5).
If digitalSTROM devices from different power circuits or digitalSTROM Meters are combined to form one room, this room will take up one of the possible 16 rooms on both digitalSTROM Meters.
