Gira HomeServer 2 Expert V 2.10 Operating using the AGFEO System

Back / Forward | Help / Operating using AGFEO

This program item allows you to set up a bidirectional operating menu on AGFEO system telephones.
The technical requirements and notes on the installation instructions for the telephone system and telephones are at the end of the text.
The 2-segment display and the function keys with the status LEDs are used for AGFEO system telephones.
If the value changes then the status LED next to the function keys may flash.
The following display and control functions are available.
These are then linked with Menu (e.g. rooms).

Comment: The function must be activated in the program item Project / Other / Agree System.

Use the accompanying sample project for the first test in order to gain an insight into the possibilities offered.

Functions

Functions are defined here and then used in the area Menu (e.g. Rooms).
The data type of the EIB components and the text are defined in the second line of the telephone display with the functions.
The display can be formatted in this menu item and/or the content can be controlled.

Designation

Designation of the function in the Expert

Type of function

Boolean - you can switch between zero and one using this.
Numeric - numeric inputs via the keyboard of the telephone can be sent to the HomeServer with this. e.g. for the set temperature or the brightness level of a dimmer.
Text - this text is shown in the display; no further input is possible.
List (commands) - a list of commands is defined here. A value is assigned to each command. The values must be assigned consecutively. You can scroll through the list in the display and select a command. The communication object receives the value on selection (assigned in the Menu area).

Display text

This text is shown on the bottom line of the telephone display.
The number of numeric positions is defined by an underline _ (Example: "___ Proc.").

Number of digits

Can not be entered.
The value is calculated from the number of underlines in the display text box

Min. value

Limits the minimum entry.

Max. value

Limits the maximum entry.

Factor

The value entered is multiplied by this factor.
The factor is taken from the standpoint of the EIB, related to the display.

Example 1: Display of the EIB temperature (21.5 degrees), the function type is numerical,
display text: Temp: __,_ the number of digits is 1
Min. value: -30
Max. value: 90
Factor: 10 (as only integers are possible),
Type of entry: no entry

Example 2: A dimmer is to be used in steps of 10% via the telephone keys.
The function type is numeric,
the number of digits is 1
Min. value: 0
Max. value: 9
Factor: 0.1,
Type of entry: Send after complete entry

Type of entry

This defines the behavior during the entry:

Send after confirmation - using this option, the changes at the telephone are only transmitted after confirmation with the OK button.
End after complete entry - using this option, the changes at the telephone are sent immediately after the required number of entries has been reached and the menu at the system telephone is immediately closed.
Send after complete entry - using this option, the changes at the telephone are sent immediately after the required number of entries has been reached. If the entry box is single-digit then, e.g. every entry is sent immediately. Ideal e.g. for a dimmer
No entry - the values are only displayed; no change can be made. This is meaningful, e.g. to display the outside temperature.

Start value

The numbers of the value entries for the function type "List" start with this value

Values

The list entries are stored here. The first value corresponds to the starting value. All additional values must be stored without a gap.

The menu structure for the telephone is constructed in this area.
The functions are then assigned to every menu item .

Communication object

This communication object is assigned the value from the function.

Reporting value changes to the AGFEO telecommunication system

If this menu entry is programmed on the first key level (using a WAC key) on a system telephone (ST20, ST25, ST30), then the condition is displayed by an LED. The LED is on/off for the values 0/1 (Boolean). For all other values, the LED flashes until it requests the new value and has acknowledged it.
