Help on HomeMatic inputs

Configuration

 

On "HomeMatic Inputs" the objects are configured, which are processed as inputs. Typical devices for inputs are motion sensors , switches, window contacts, etc..

 
 
  Name

Give the input a name. The name improves the clarity and enables you to reference this input using the name in another place, for example in the operations or time-delays.

 
  Location

Assign the input to a room. This allows you to quickly navigate between the different inputs of the SmartHome server by using system telephone or app.

  Type

The type determines the behavior of the object.

  Datapointtype

The datapoint type determines the range of values and possibly the unit that is used in the visualization.

  Settings

You can use the symbol to expand the configuration screen to include further settings. You can use the symbol to hide these settings again.

  Delete

By pushing the delete button, you remove the input from configuration.

  Serialnumber

Here you can configure the serial number of the sensor, which is used as input. This can be done either through the Import button or by manual input.

  Channel

The channel within the device.

  Value

The value is assumed for the receipt when receiving the combination serialnumber:channel.

  Key Event

HomeMatic differentiates between short and long push button action. Here you can specify which of these events should be taken into account.

  Invert

Each binary input can be inverted.

  Initial Value

From the start of the system until the reception of the first date the smarthome server treats the status of the input as undefined. This has consequences for the gates. Gates with an undefined input are not executed.
This selection allows you to configure an initial value for binary sensors, which is used until the first receipt of a telegram.
