What does the ECG Driver Type Column mean in the Grid View?

The Device Types->ECG contains a new field for V2 controllers: Driver Type

There are two functions that driver type allows for:

Classification of devices for use of filtering in the Grid View

Protection of a lighting state.

Protection of a lighting state.

As of v2.000.024, the following feature is active:

If a 24 hour light or Maintained emergency is found to be off at any stage, the controller will force the light back on shortly thereafter.  You must set the Correction behaviour to Default or a behaviour that implies that it Acts on mismatches.

In future versions (current not yet implemented), the follow further features will be active (See Controller Changelog)

If you attempt to individually turn off a lighting command to a 24 hour or maintained emergency address, the controller will not do it (currently it will allow the command but then send a retraction shortly after).

If a Non Maintained emergency is found to be on whilst not in emergency (or function / duration test), it will be forced back off.

If you place a device with light state protections in a group with other devices that do not have such restrictions, you will force the controller to split a singular group command into many addressed commands to avoid the protected addresses.

For example, if you have 10 dali lights at addresses 0-9. one of which A5 is set to be a 24 hour light, sending a group command of OFF will result in OFF to A0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.  Currently 2.000.024 functionality is to allow the group command to occur but fix the protected light up, after.
