Event Handler

MAIA Series

Fundamentally, 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.
