Feedback Statuses; Device Names And Switching Functions - HomeMatic HM-PB-4Dis-WM Mounting Instruction And Operating Manual

9. Feedback statuses

As a HomeMatic component, the wall-mounting
pushbutton transmits data via the BidCoS protocol.
This bi-directional protocol allows transmitting
devices to receive feedback from receiving devices.
If the wall-mounting pushbutton is pressed to
trigger a switching operation, this is indicated on the
display by the text turning orange. Once the
receiving device has issued feedback confirming
that the switching operation has been performed,
the text changes to green. If the receiver has not
carried out the switching operation or if no wireless
connection could be established, this is indicated by
the text turning red.
10. Device names and switching
functions
A name can be assigned to each individual device.
The designations of the switching functions (when
the button is pressed at the top or the bottom) are
defined when the name is assigned.
