Page 20: Scripting
On its own, a power switch isn't very smart. Programmers can easily add custom functionality by using the built-in Lua-based scripting language in power controllers. 7.1 Hardware requirements Lua-based scripting is available in all DIN4 controllers. Beeper, backlight, LCD, voltage and current monitoring functions are limited to products with appropriate hardware installed. 7.2 Entering scripts...
