The Link Tool
The new interface allows creating more actions
for the same condition. In that case, a condition
can trigger more actions. To set such an Event,
the Link tool has been introduced.
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the desired
Event; the Event editor is displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is displayed as default,
press the Link button.
Step 3. All the saved Events are analyzed and
the conditions are listed (it takes some
seconds to finish). The Show advanced
expressions option allows showing the
exact path and set the value of the given
property.
Step 4. Select the desired Condition and press the
Apply button to store the settings.

INFO: This mode is also available for setting
the Action.
Combine Links

DIFFERENCE: This feature is available from FW package v1.1.0b3.
The first generation of the Event Manager is able to sense a change (one condition) but in some cases that
is not enough. The practical experience
has shown there is a need to examine
more conditions as follows: if one of
the set conditions becomes true (while
the other conditions are fulfilled),
then the set Action is launched. The
Combine Links tool allows setting these
Conditions. Follow the steps below:
Step 1. Create individual Conditions in
separate Events.
Step 2. Create a new Event
navigate to the Combine Links
tab in the Editor.
Step 3. Select up to four Conditions in
the left panel.
Step 4. Set the desired Action (and do
not forget to enable the Events).
INFO:
This mode is available for
setting the Condition only. #new

Linking a Macro (Action)
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is avail-
able from FW package v1.1.0b3.
Macros stored in the device can be run
as Actions. Thus, a lot of commands
can be run by using only one Event. The
commands will be processed one-by-
one after each other. #macro
Step 1. Click on the Edit button of the
desired Event; the Event editor is
displayed.
Step 2. The wizard mode is the default,
press the Macros button in the
Action panel.
Step 3. Select the desired Macro from
the list then press the Apply
button to store settings.
If the Use variables option is enabled, you
can link a variable by the $ character.
If you do so (e.g. $1), the device will
handle it as the V1 variable. You can
send the value of the variable e.g. as a TCP message.
See more information about the Macro settings in the Macros section. #new
