• Setup Group Controller Scenes - (default Yes) Setup scene button bindings on group controllers.

Default Navigator Visibility

• Default Navigator Visibility - Devices - (default Show) Default navigator visibility for lighting devices when first commissioned.
• Default Navigator Visibility - Room Group - (default Show) Default navigator visibility for room group controllers when first commissioned.
• Default Navigator Visibility - Control Devices - (default Hide) Default navigator visibility for switch and sensor devices when first commissioned.

Colour Control

• RGBWAF Step Size - (default 5) Number of levels (1-10) to adjust per button press on RGBWAF colour channel buttons. Broadcast to all child drivers.
• TC Step Size - (default 200) Kelvin step size (1-1000) per button press on colour temperature buttons. Broadcast to all child drivers.

Auto-Conversion

• Automatically Create Fan Drivers - (default Yes) Automatically convert matching ECGs to Fan drivers on commission.
• Automatically Create Relay Drivers - (default No) Automatically convert matching ECGs to Relay drivers on commission.
• Automatically Create Blind Drivers - (default No) Automatically convert matching ECGs to Blind drivers on commission.

See the ECG driver documentation for details on the auto-conversion table and matching criteria.

Other Properties

• Driver Version - (read-only) The driver version currently loaded.
• Status - (read-only) Current controller status (Loading/Ready/Sync in progress).
• IP Address - (read-only) The IP address of the connected zencontrol Application Controller.
• Controller ID - (read-only) The controller identifier and location.
• DALI Fault Detected - (read-only) Whether any DALI bus faults have been detected.
• Controller Startup Complete - (read-only) Whether the controller has completed its startup sequence.
• Advanced Lighting Agent Loaded - (read-only) Whether the C4 Advanced Lighting Agent is available.
• Log Level - Configure the level of logging data produced by the driver.

Programming

All zencontrol drivers can be programmed via the Composer Programming interface and many have CONTACT and BUTTON_LINK bindings which can be configured with the Composer Connections interface.

DALI Command

Send DALI commands to devices on the bus. Takes a Target Type, Target, Command, and Value.

Target Types:

• BROADCAST: Target is ignored (applies to all devices).
• GROUP: Target must be 0 to 15 (matches group Number in zencontrol grid view).
• ADDRESS: Target must be 0 to 63 (matches Address in zencontrol grid view).

Available Commands: LEVEL, OFF, UP, DOWN, STEP_UP, STEP_DOWN, RECALL_MAX, RECALL_MIN, STEP_DOWN_AND_OFF, ON_AND_STEP_UP, GO_TO_LAST_ACTIVE_LEVEL, SCENE_0 through SCENE_15, START_DAPC_SEQUENCE, STOP_FADE.

DALI Colour Temperature

Set the colour temperature on a target device or group. Takes a Target Type, Target, and Temperature in Kelvin.

Virtual Instance Command

Send commands directly to virtual instances via the Controller driver. Useful for simulating button presses, occupancy events, or absolute input changes.

Available Commands: SHORT_PRESS, LONG_PRESS, ABSOLUTE_ON, ABSOLUTE_OFF, OCCUPIED, UNOCCUPIED.

For more information on virtual instances see What is a virtual switch/sensor.

Change Profile

Requests the control system go to the specified profile number. If that profile is not loaded on the control system then no action is taken.

For more information on profiles see What is a profile.

Load Scheduled Profile

Returns the control system back to the currently scheduled profile.

For more information about profile schedules see What is a profile schedule.

Inhibit / Cancel Inhibit

Inhibiting prevents the control system from automatically adjusting levels on the given target. Levels may be changed due to sensor input for example. The duration is specified in seconds.

For more information on Inhibit, see What is inhibit.
