# Appendix A — Action reference

*Every trigger available in iDM3 3.5.3.*

***

An **action** is the event on an actor that fires a wire. Which actions are offered depends on the actor's type — a button offers `Short down`, a timer offers `Timer elapsed`.

**On buttons, "down" means press and "up" means release** — so `Short down` is a short press, `Short up` a short release, `Long down` a long press and `Long up` a long release.

All **81** actions defined in this version are listed below, grouped by what they belong to. The **On screen** column is what you will see in the **Action:** dropdown of the **Wire function** window.

For how actions fit into the programming model, see [Chapter 2](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/how-programming-works-in-idm3.md).

> **A few actions have no on-screen label** and are marked *(no label)*. They exist in the software but are not intended for selection.

> **Actions you may find in older documentation but not here:** `SystemVoltage_CutOff`, `SystemVoltage_CutOffBack`, `SystemVoltage_LowAcu` and `SystemVoltage_LowAcuBack` appear in the translation files but are **disabled in 3.5.3** — they are commented out in the software and cannot be selected. Also note `Button_Click`, which is likewise disabled.

## Button actions in detail

| Action              | Fires when                                     | Typical use                              |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `Short down`        | **short press** — the button goes down         | the normal action                        |
| `Short up`          | **short release** — it comes back up           | when you want the action on release      |
| `Long down`         | **long press** — still held after \~1.5 s      | a second function on the same button     |
| `Long up`           | **long release** — released after a long press | ending a held action — stop dimming      |
| `Permanent actions` | repeatedly, driven by the central unit         | continuous behaviour while a state holds |

> **Older documentation calls these *****Short press / Short release / Long press / Long release*****.** Same events; the labels changed.

## Notes on particular groups

**Balanced (tamper) inputs** are used for security wiring, where a single input distinguishes normal, alarm and tamper conditions by resistance.

**Unit trouble** actions come from units that can report overload or overheating — dimmers and blind actuators among them. Wiring `Trouble over load` to an alarm or an SMS gives you warning of a failing circuit before the client notices.

**Heating/cooling status** actions report a regulator's state — including `Status ErrAntifreeze` and `Status ErrMaximal`, which fire when a temperature limit is breached. Worth wiring to a notification on any real installation.

**`System start`** fires when the central unit boots. Use it to put the installation into a known state after a power cut.
