Rooms on and off
A room, like a device, can be ON or OFF. To turn a room on or off, you can right-click the room
name in the design pane and select On or Off from the popup menu. When the room is On it
shows with a yellow background in the design pane.
If you have an icon for a room on a display you can right click the icon to have access these menu
choices:
But what does it mean for the room to be on or off?
A room is ON when
any of the devices in the room that participate in determining the room state
are on.
A room is OFF when
all of the devices in the room that participate in determining the room state
are off.
What determines if a device “participates in determine the room state”?
This is a property of the device. One of the tabs in the property dialog for a device is the
Room
tab.
