The command action starts system functions on the IRControl System. Interessting in this relation are only the commands described at this place.
The command action has the following attributes:
| Command Name | The operation that is executed |
| Parameter | Additional parameter depending on the operation (command name) |
| Value | Additional value depending on the operation (command name) |
AddRefreshTimer
IRConntrol sends a Refresh-30 event every 30 seconds for relaoding data for some controls. With this command you can install an addtional timer on your page with sends Refresh events. As Parameter you have to enter the invervall in milli seconds.
Exit
IRControl App will be closed.
fireAlive
Sends a ping to the Gateway defined in the Parameter (ID). You can
determine with this command if a Gateway is online on Network. The
System does send an Event (connected) if it is connected.
ScanNetwork
ScanNetwork let the IRControl System search for new control devices on network. This is maybe interessting if you switch on your equipment with controllable powerswitch (MyStrom or Intertechno). So you can scan your network for devices after certain time (as long your equipment needs to start).
fireDynamicProperty
A dynamic property can be fired. (see also Dynamic Attributes).
SendEvent
An additional command action is „SendEvent“. With it you can send events inside the IRControl system to other subsystems or controls. With this functionality it is possible to generate dynamic layouts, which extends the possibility of layout design seriously. For more information about useing events read the chapter events.
SetPageParameter
With this parameter you can manipulate some attributes of your page. The following attributes are possible to set:
| setupbutton.visible | true/false, the setup button (gear wheel) will be set invisible |
| setupbutton.bitmap | Path to bitmap (change the bitmap of the setup button) |
| menubutton.visible | true/false, the Menu button (used with Context Slider) will be set to invisible |
| menubutton.bitmap | Path to bitmap (change the bitmap of the menu button) |
| pageindicator.visible | true/false, disabling of page indicators (with sub fragments) |
| pageindicator.on.color | Change the color of (selected) page indicators (format #FFFFFF) |
| pageindicator.off.color | Change the color of (unselected) page indicators (format #FFFFFF) |
Sleep
Sleep makes sence only to configure it within a macro.
The sleep time (parameter) is to enter in milliseconds. So you could
interrupt the execution of a macro for a certain time.
A use case
of ScanNetwork and Sleep could be, that you create a macro, wich first
enable the power switch, then waits specific time (time the devices
switched on need to connect to the network, and finally search on the
network for devices just turned on.
