Power On / Off: Switch component that powers On or shuts Off the load;
Auto / Manual: Switch component that defines whether the load is set on “Auto” or “Manual” mode. If the Load is set in Auto then it will be managed by the Load control module of the Ilevia’s server. If the load has been set in Manual instead, it will be excluded form the load control module of the Ilevia’s server;
Both these switches can be added to the user interface to let users interact with the load’s settings.
Load component set up
The Load component is composed with two Switch as sub components. The first one is needed to change the status of the Load, the second switch is needed in order to choose the mode of the Load it self.
