Resources - Virtual resources

Virtual Resources

Virtual Resources makes it possible to define buttons for systems, without implementing these directly. The

BeoLink App currently uses virtual buttons for displaying scene buttons. It is not able to display all available

resources in each zone.

Virtual Resources have no functionality by themselves. Macros must be defined to link user actions on a virtual

resource, with events and commands on the systems. In the future BeoLink Gateway will be updated to be able

to support virtual dimmers, shades and thermostats.

User experience

Virtual Resources can appear as a single functional entity on user interfaces, hiding the fact that internally in

BeoLink Gateway the resource is implemented by combining a set of macros for all the needed actions on the

button.

Addressing

Virtual Resources have an address which is a unique number. The address is used by external controllers and

applications to identify the resource.
