• Set the parameters temporarily (such as configuring the LED lights on Dimmers)

Notes:

1. If you double-click a device and a Device Control window does not appear, it indicates that one

is not available for that device or item.

2. These user interfaces are not specific for each device and model. Understand the capabilities

of a device before testing it.

5.3.5.2 Discrete Power Control

Example: The Samsung TX-P1430 Television does not have discrete power control.

Discrete Power Control means that a device can turn on with the On button and turn off with the Off

button. Some devices, like the Samsung television, only offer Toggle Power Control which means you

can toggle between On and Off using one button. The control system has to assume that toggle

devices are always On, because with a power toggle, the power state cannot be determined with

these models. For the Samsung model, the Television Device Control shows discrete power buttons.

These buttons do not apply to devices that do not have discrete power.

Device Control Examples
