What is Event Handler?
Event HandlerFundamentally, the event handler differs from a timer scheduler in that it enables multiple actions to be triggered by a single event or recurrence that can be further tailored with rules. Configuration can be performed using the AUDAC Touch. GPIO or timed events can all trigger the event handler.
Note: Up to 100 events can be created using the event handler.
Note: In order for the event handler to work, the time region should be set correctly on the device settings.
Event Settings
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Enabled | Enabled/Disable | Enables or disables the event. When a new event is created, it is enabled by default. |
Name | Not Available | Gives the event a unique name (maximum 40 characters) |
Description | Not Available | Description of the event |
Action Settings
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Actions | Add Action/Remove Action | Each event can have up to 10 actions that can have up to 5 commands. |
Actions | Edit | Open a window to configure the commands of the action. |
Action Commands | Add Command/Remove | Adds a new command or removes the selected command. An action can have up to 5 commands. |
Select Device | Selection | A drop-down menu shows all the available devices that can be controlled. |
Parameter | Selection | A drop-down menu shows all the available functions that be controlled. |
Time Period
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Execute From/Until | Start/End | Sets a time limit for the event that will occur. |
Exclude Periods | Start/End | Exclude a time period within the defined execute time period. |
Trigger Settings
Contact Trigger
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Ignore execute from and until date for contact triggers | Enable/Disable | Contact trigger ignores the defined execution time limitation. |
Contact Trigger | Add Contact Trigger/Edit/Remove Contact Trigger | Each event can have up to 16 contact triggers. |
Select Device | Selection | A drop-down menu shows all the available devices that can receive GPI. |
GPI Contact | Selection | A list of GPIO ports that can trigger the event. |
Trigger Type | Rising Edge/Falling Edge/Rising and Falling Edge | Selection of GPI states to trigger the event. |
Rising Edge | Not Available | A transition from low to high. A push button or widget is pressed, and the GPIO connected to it changes from low voltage to high voltage. |
Falling Edge | Not Available | A transition from high to low. A push button is released, and the GPIO connected to it changes from high voltage to low voltage. |
Rising and Falling Edge | Not Available | The GPIO triggers on both transitions, when detects any any changes in the state. This can be a sensor toggles between high and low repeatedly. |
Time Trigger
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Time Trigger | Add Time Trigger/Remove Time Trigger | Each event can have up to 10 time triggers. |
Years | Selection | Each time trigger can have up to 8 year selection options between 2023 and 2032. A selected year cannot be selected again. If the year is selected as a repeat parameter, more than one year rule might be confusing. |
Months | Selection | Each time trigger can have up to 12 month selection options between January and December. A selected month cannot be selected again. If the month is selected as a repeat parameter, more than one month rule might be confusing. |
Days of Month | Selection | Each time trigger can have up to 32 selection options between 1st-31st or the last day of the month. Only a single day matching rule is allowed. The other day matching rules were disabled. |
Weekdays of Month | Selection | Selection list of 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th, or the last weekdays of the month. Each day can be selected as a trigger date. Only a single day matching rule is allowed. The other day matching rules were disabled. If the day is selected as a repeat parameter, more than one day rule might be confusing. |
Weekdays | Selection | Selection list of weekdays. Each day can be selected as a trigger date. Only a single day matching rule is allowed. The other day matching rules were disabled. If the day is selected as a repeat parameter, more than one day rule might be confusing. |
Times | Selection | Sets at what time the event should occur. |
Repeat | Year/Month/Week/Day | Sets how often the event repeats. |
