Outputs | Options

General

  • Log Output Events: When this option is enabled the output will generate an event whenever it is activated or deactivated. Disable this option to prevent output events from being generated.

    You may disable event logging for outputs that are primarily used for automation or control (such as virtual outputs) to reduce their impact on event storage.

  • Invert Output: When this option is enabled the output activation will be inverted. For example, if a light output is inverted deactivating the output will turn the light on and activating the output will turn the light off.

    A module update will be required whenever this setting is changed.

    If the output is on the controller, after changing this setting you must manually activate and deactivate the output.

Preset State

  • Preset Controller Power Up: With this option enabled the output will be set to a specific state when the controller is restarted or powered on for the first time. If not, the output will be reset to its last known state.

  • Output Turns On When Controller Powers Up: This option defines the initial state of the output when the controller powers up. With this option enabled the output turns on. With this option disabled the output turns off.

  • Preset Module Power Up: With this option enabled the output will be set to a specific state when the module it is connected to is powered up. This will override the last known state of the output and the Preset Controller Power Up setting above.

    A module update will be required whenever this setting is changed.

  • Output Turns On When Module Powers Up: This option defines the initial state of the output when the connected module powers up. With this option enabled the output turns on. With this option disabled the output turns off.

  • Preset Module Offline: With this option enabled the output will be set to a specific state when the connected module goes offline. For example, this could be used to turn on an indicator light or beeper when a module goes offline, or ensure that emergency lighting turns on if a connection is damaged.

    A module update will be required whenever this setting is changed.

  • Output Turns on When Module Offline: This option defines the state of the output when the connected module goes offline. With this option enabled the output turns on. With this option disabled the output turns off.
