Checks the status of the selected digitalSTROM Device
and updates the list of devices accordingly. If the selected digitalSTROM Device
is registered in the digitalSTROM Meter
but physically unavailable, it is shown as inactive (grey). If the digitalSTROM Device is physically available, it is shown as active (black).
This function allows the testing of individual devices.
Use Check device presence to test all digitalSTROM Device
s connected to a digitalSTROM Meter. For more information on this subject, refer to chapter 5.3.1.
Edit device properties
The dialogue allows editing the properties of the selected digitalSTROM Device
. The example shows the device properties of a digitalSTROM push button block
Joker. A 2-way push button for closing room shutters is connected to inputs 1 and 2. For more information on this subject, refer to chapter 3.4.
chapter 5.4.3 contains suitable application examples explaining possible configurations of the digitalSTROM push button block.
Only available for digitalSTROM Device
s of the application area Joker (black). Choose the desired digitalSTROM colour for the operation of the selected digitalSTROM Device
.
Refer to chapter1.6 for instructions on the digitalSTROM colour scheme.
Furthermore in the colour group Joker (black), higher-level activities (e.g. «Doorbell» or «Panic») can also be triggered or digitalSTROM Server apps controlled with the connected push button. For this, see the description of "Push button" later in this chapter.
Operating mode of the power output for digitalSTROM Device
s with power output and application area Joker (black). The operating mode of the digitalSTROM Device
Joker can be selected independent of the colour group. The operating mode of the power output is shown in the list of devices in the „output“ column. For more information on this subject, refer to chapter 5.3.2.
In addition, the power output switches on if Scenes 1-4 or
Area on of the same colour group
, e.g. for light (yellow)
are activated. If the Off-preset
s are activated, the output remains unchanged. The power output of the digitalSTROM Devices in colour group Joker does not react to Scenes 1-4 or Area on.
Scenes 1-4, Area on as well as «Coming home» a
nd «Waking up» will switch the device on again. By doing so the connected device will also be put in its own standby mode.
Depending on the function of the digitalSTROM push button block
presets can be activated 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).

The device push button basically switches/dims with 1x click a device connected directly to the output. With 2x, 3x, 4x clicks on the device push button additional presets can be activated for the room. This corresponds to the factory settings of the digitalSTROM line switch.
If a digitalSTROM push button block
is configured as area push button the main section Activities will show the associated preset
, e.g. Area 1 On. If the preset
for an area is saved (e.g. Area 1 On), the digitalSTROM Devices switched on at this time (device value > 0%) will automatically make up the corresponding area.
„Room push button“The room push button basically switches/dims all digitalSTROM Device
s belonging to a room. With 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x click you can call up different preset
s for the room. This corresponds to the factory settings of the digitalSTROM push button block.
If a digitalSTROM push button terminal block is allocated to a group, the name of the group is automatically allocated in the properties dialogue.
If a digitalSTROM Device with a push button input is allocated to a group (e.g. digitalSTROM relay terminal block Shade (grey)), the group will also be available in the properties dialogue but will not be automatically allocated. This makes it possible for the push button connected to the digitalSTROM Device to be used as a central button for the group as necessary.
Refer to chapter 5.6.
Higher-level activitiesIf the input of a digitalSTROM Device is configured for the Joker application area (black), the connected push button can be used to trigger higher-level activities. To do so, select the higher-level activities (
«Leaving home», «Doorbell», «Panic», or «Alarm»). Then the push button completely sets up the corresponding digitalSTROM push button terminal block (e.g. as "Panic push button").
„App push button“The push button can be used as an App push button to control digitalSTROM Server apps
. The app push button has
no predefined functionality in factory settings and can be used as needed. See also chapter 'Controlling different devices with the touch of a button' in the 'dSS Apps' section of the User Manual.
If the digitalSTROM push button block
Joker (black) input is configured for the Joker (black) application area, the push button is automatically used as app push button.
If one of the push buttons on the line switch
GE-SD200 is used as Joker button and configured for the Joker (black) application area, the Joker button will also be automatically operated as app push button.
For digitalSTROM line switch GE-SDS200
Determines for digitalSTROM line switch
GE-SDS200 the functionality of the 2 push buttons on the casing which can be pushed together or individually.
Here the line switch
is listed as a single device in the list of devices.
One button is used as 1-way button (single push button) in the application area Light (yellow). Here the configuration is performed in the list of devices at the line switch
GE-SDS200.
The other button is used as Joker button.The configuration of the Joker button is performed at the line switch
with the hardware data SW-SDS200 (shown additionally in the list of devices). The application area of the Joker button can be chosen as needed.
The digitalSTROM Device
is not considered by the digitalSTROM Meter
during the set-up of presets and activities. Use this setting if no load is connected to the terminal block.

Visualises the used preset
s for 2x, 3x, 4x click.
„Local priority for 1x click“
If local priority is active the digitalSTROM Device
s switched on by the device or area push button will not be affected by preset
s being activated for the room. Consequently they can only be switched off by using the corresponding device or area push button or by holding down (1s) another push button of the corresponding colour (e.g. yellow). This functionality corresponds to the behaviour of the digitalSTROM line switch.
"Call up "Coming home" for absence"
If the higher-level activity «Leaving home» is called up when the house is left (e.g. through the Leaving home push button at the house entrance), 1 click on any push button calls up the higher-level activity «Coming home».
This setting is active in the factory settings.
Deactivate the settings when e.g. the light push button in the exterior area should not automatically trigger «Coming home» during absence.

Edit Shade Device Properties
The values for motion time open-close and motion time close-open as well as direction of travel are determined during calibration.
„Motion time open-close“Time the shading system needs to travel from the opened/extended end position to the closed/retracted end position.
„Motion time close-open“Time the shading system needs to travel from the closed/retracted end position to the opened/extended end position.
„Turn Time Blades“Time a blind needs to open or close its blades.
„Direction of travel“Determines the direction of travel of the connected motor. The direction of travel for the motion commands open/close can be reversed depending on the shading system or manufacturer.
„default“
default direction of travel open/close
„reverse“
reversed direction of travel close/open
„Protect calibration values“Protects parameters against being overwritten by calibration. Calibration can only be initiated in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator or via inching commands if the protection is lifted. This setting prevents the unintentional overwriting of calibration data during the set-up of new presets.
„Calibrate motion time and direction“Determines the motion time and direction of travel for the shading system connected to the digitalSTROM relay terminal block. See also chapter 5.3.4.
„Calibrate Turn Time“Determines the turn time for the blades of the blinds connected to the digitalSTROM relay terminal block. See also chapter 5.3.5.
