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.

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.
