INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a component is widely used for execute specific actions when a condition is met.For example If a component passes to a state or if a value of a sensor changes to be higher by a value set by the user, this can generate a specific action.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

GUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

This component\u2019s\u00a0sample is made by using Graphic UI\u00a0gateway.<\/p>\n

Enable component:<\/strong> Checkbox which defines whether the function is enabled or disabled on the system.<\/p>\n

Operation’s condition (Optional):<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fulfil task only when:<\/strong>\u00a0a component that\u00a0defines the condition under which the operation is executed;<\/p>\n

The secondary condition is optional, it should be completed only if you want\u00a0to insert two conditions because something happened.<\/p>\n

Condition component:<\/strong> Drop Down<\/a>, Info<\/a>, Color info<\/a>, Text info<\/a>,\u00a0Switch<\/a>, Lock<\/a>\u00a0or Pulse<\/a> component that defines the condition the logic is executed.<\/p>\n

Condition type:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Is lower than:<\/em> The\u00a0IF is evaluated only when the component’s value is lower than\u00a0…\u00a0;<\/p>\n

– Is equal to:<\/em> The IF is evaluated only when the component’s value is equal to\u00a0…\u00a0;<\/p>\n

– Is higher\u00a0than:<\/em> The IF condition is evaluated only when the component’s value is higher than …\u00a0;<\/p>\n

Ignore startup value:<\/strong>\u00a0it\u00a0allows to ignore the component\u2019s value at the system startup;<\/p>\n

Compare as text:<\/strong> This checkbox allows to enter a specific words in the next text field Value<\/em><\/strong> that will trigger the condition;<\/p>\n

Check only if the condition component changes:<\/strong>\u00a0This checkbox will make the IF-Then component check the condition component only it changes;<\/p>\n

Check only if the following component change:<\/strong>\u00a0This parameter allows to set a component that will be checked based on the time specified within the below parameter called Check every [s];<\/p>\n

Secondary condition (Optional):<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Component:<\/strong> Drop Down<\/a>, Info<\/a>, Color info<\/a>, Text info<\/a>,\u00a0Switch<\/a>, Lock<\/a>\u00a0or Pulse<\/a> component that defines the condition the logic is executed.<\/p>\n

– Is equal to:<\/em> The IF is evaluated only when the component’s value is equal to\u00a0…\u00a0;<\/p>\n

– Is higher\u00a0than:<\/em> The IF condition is evaluated only when the component’s value is higher than …\u00a0;<\/p>\n

Ignore startup value:<\/strong> This checkbox will make the If Then component ignore the first value of the component set in the Component<\/b> parameter.<\/p>\n

Compare as text:<\/strong> This checkbox allows to enter a specific words in the next text field Value<\/em><\/strong> that will trigger the condition;<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Value:<\/strong> The value to assign to the component when the logic is executed;<\/p>\n

Or component’s value:\u00a0<\/strong>the component value to assign to the component when the logic is executed;<\/p>\n

Skip if equal:<\/strong> This checkbox allows to compare the actual value of the selected component with the value coming from the triggering of component selected, if the value is equal to the actual value of the component it will be skipped.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

Value:<\/strong>\u00a0the value to assign to the component when the logic is executed;<\/p>\n

Set previous value:<\/strong> This check box allows you to set the previous value of the component linked on the drop down above, based on its value that had before the condition started.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong>: Let’s say we have a window sensor, this window sensor will turn of the heating if its value hit 1, the check box “Set previous value” will set the value to the component that control the heating back to the value it had when the primary condition triggered.<\/p>\n
