14: LINKED DEVICES
Linked Devices combine several devices into one device. Using this
function results in controlling the group of related devices as if they
were one single device. The group will be presented in the interfaces
as a single device. The gateway offers different Linked Devices types:
Thermostats, Humidifiers, Video Gates, Switches, Blinds and Sprinklers.
14.1: THERMOSTATS (HUMIDIFIERS, VIDEO GATES,
SWITCHES, BLINDS AND SPRINKLERS)
Heating systems present at our homes are quite complex and they often
do not offer any smart home capabilities natively. That’s why you can
create a Linked Device, which can act as the given Thermostat.
How does the linked device work?
When you choose the main device for the thermostat it means that the
actions of the switches selected in the Linked Device will depend on the
readings from the main device.
Depending on the selected devices, different operating modes will be
available. If you select a device (Switch/Wall Plug) as a heating device
only, the linked device will support modes only for heating. If you select
devices for cooling as well, then the Linked Device supports more modes,
i.e.: Heat, Cool, Auto, Off.
