5.6.2 Setting digitalSTROM devices for activities, presets and areas
In the device list, only digitalSTROM devices that are configurable for the activities or presets are displayed in each case (
Fig. 59).
Please note that activity/preset-specific device settings may differ from the general device settings in the Hardware main section!
Fig. 59: Devices dialogue with embedded dialog for setting the device values
The embedded dialogue allows the device value of the digitalSTROM device to be changed quickly and conveniently in the device list.
The procedure for setting up the device values for the different application areas of the digitalSTROM components is described in detail in chapter
5.3.9 and illustrated with examples for the applications of light (chapter
5.3.9.1), shade (chapter
5.3.9.2), climate (chapter
5.3.9.3) and joker (chapter
5.3.9.4).
Saving presets for the room/area
Save all device values for the selected preset with the command Save or use the command Save in other preset.
When saving the device value for a preset, the current device value is not changed on the output of the device.
Fig. 60: Dialogue for saving the device values in another preset
With the Discard command no values are saved, but instead the selected preset is called up again. Thus the room is in the previous state for the selected preset.
Note on the configuration of areas
To be able to serve a specific area the corresponding digitalSTROM push button must be configured as area push button in the
Hardware and
Activities main section. Please also take into account here the note on the local prioritization (see chapter
5.4.2.2).
Further note that in factory settings digitalSTROM devices are assigned to all areas. If selected digitalSTROM devices are not to be operated in one area, they have to be removed from that area.
Two procedures can be used to configure an area:
Procedure 1: Define the area by saving the device value in the embedded dialogue
digitalSTROM devices with a value greater than 0 % are automatically allocated to the corresponding area.
Therefore, use the embedded dialogue to change/save the device values in the selected preset (e.g. Area 1 On).
To do so, switch on an area of the corresponding digitalSTROM device or open the shading system.
Switch off a device not corresponding to the area or completely close the shading system.
Repeat this procedure for all digitalSTROM devices in the selected area which you would like to control and then save the preset for Area n On.
Procedure 2: Directly add/remove devices by command
Select preset Area n On
Directly add/remove the selected digitalSTROM device to the selected area by using the Add to Area/Remove from Area command. The device value is not changed by this.
The configuration of areas can be very easily checked via the
"Read in configuration of the areas for the devices in the selected room" function (see chapter
5.6.2).
Refer to the commands Edit Device Value and Add/Remove Area in the following documentation.
Commands of the digitalSTROM devices for the activities, presets and areas
Identification blinkingMakes all digitalSTROM devices allocated to the selected room blink for identification
Add to areaAdds the digitalSTROM device selected in the list of devices to the area selected in the list of activities. This command is only available if the selected digitalSTROM device can be added to the selected area due to its configuration and type.
In particular this command facilitates the configuration of activities for the application area Shade, since the shading systems no longer have to be moved to be added to the area.
Remove from areaRemoves the digitalSTROM device selected in the device list from the area selected in the activity list.

Editing activity settings
In the dialogue (
Fig. 61) the following options are available:
"Blink when activating preset 2"
The selected digitalSTROM device blinks when the selected activity/preset is activated.
The blinking can be configured via the Editing device properties of the digitalSTROM terminal block output.
"Retain output when calling preset 2"
The call for this activity/preset is not responded to by the selected digitalSTROM device. Thereby the output value is not changed, but the blinking is executed when desired.

Advanced device properties
For the Advanced device properties (Fig. 62) the following options are available:
"LED mode"
Determines the display mode of the LED in the housing of the digitalSTROM device. This setting is only displayed if the selected digitalSTROM device is equipped with an LED.
"Auto"
The brightness of the LED corresponds to the current device value of the power output and is adjusted during dimming. If the activity «Deep-Off» is called up, the LED goes dark. If the output is deactivated, the LED will glow weakly.
"Off"
The LED stays permanently dark.
"Transition time to call up"
Determines for the selected activity/preset the speed of preset transitions for dimmed devices.
"Default"
The device value for the activity/preset will be reached within 400 ms.
"Slow"
The device value for the activity/preset will be reached within 60 ms.

Rename device
In the Rename device dialogue you can very easily rename your digitalSTROM device. With Select previous device and Select next device, you navigate directly to the next or previous digitalSTROM device in the list.

Information to configuring the device value for higher-level activities
As set in the factory, digitalSTROM devices have a pre-set device value which is read out at the power output when a higher-level activity is called up.
If a higher-level activity is selected from the selection list of the main section Activities, then the device value for this activity can also be changed/saved in the digitalSTROM device in this dialogue.
When the value is set, the output is not directly changed. Yet as necessary, the value can be activated with the command Preview/reset at the output.
This way settings for the individual devices can be changed without calling up the activity in the entire installation.
The command Save saves all the settings displayed in the dialogue for the selected activity in the corresponding device. The value does not necessarily need to be present at the output when saved, so the Preview does not necessarily have to be called up.
If the setting "Do not change output" is activated, the setting of the device value for the higher-level activity cannot be carried out.
