Testing device controls

After you add an item to the project tree and the device is physically connected, test that you can control the device.

To ensure the devices are controllable:

  1. Click System Design.
  1. In the project tree, double-click the icon of each device for its Device Control window to appear. 

    2. Example: Television 

  1. Click the available controls in the graphical representation to:
  • Ensure that the commands work
  • Set the parameters temporarily (for example, configuring the LED lights on dimmers) 

Notes:

  • 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.
  • These user interfaces are not specific for each device and model. Understand the capabilities of a device before testing it.
