Overview Block User Dialog Call

This control element shows a Block User Dialog. A tap on the tile opens the dialog; in addition a trigger address can show and hide it. The same template can be used by several calls with different addresses – so you only need the dialog once for several lights or rooms.

Operation

The tile shows a symbol, the name and an arrow, like the page change. A tap opens the dialog as a sheet, the close symbol closes it. As basic screen the call appears as a circle with the symbol.


Setup

This section is meant for the installer of the system.

The dialog is chosen with the button Dialog in the properties or with the right mouse button on the element. The selection has a search field and shows all dialog templates of the project with their page.

Parameters

Display
Dialog The template that is shown. If none is chosen yet, the Studio shows the note „no dialog chosen“ on the tile and a tap shows an empty sheet.
Name Text on the tile. When a dialog is chosen and the name still has its default value, it takes over the title of the dialog.
View Block or Basic screen.
Symbol Symbol on the tile: a program symbol or an SVG graphic imported into the project (see Block Menu Bar, section „Your own graphics (SVG) as symbol“). Default is a layers symbol.

Trigger
Trigger Optional. With the address Trigger another place (for example a door bell) shows the dialog. Not linked: the dialog only appears by tapping. When it appears:
  • show on 0 → 1: the change from 0 to not 0 is evaluated.
  • show on 1 → 0: the change from not 0 to 0 is evaluated.
  • show on 1, hide on 0: not 0 shows, 0 hides again.
With the two changes the first value after the start only counts as initial state and shows nothing. When the dialog is shown by the trigger, the page with the call is brought to the front first.

Addresses in the dialog
Addresses All addresses of the elements in the dialog that are meant to be public in the template (input with link field) appear in the address list of the call, with element, text and address name. If an address is not linked here, the address from the template applies. If it is linked, it only applies in this call. So each call gets its own addresses without copying the template. Unlinking restores the address of the template.
Names The button Names ... (only if the dialog offers addresses) opens a list in which each address gets a name of its own so that it is easy to find in the address list. Empty: the default name.
