You do not choose these directly on a wire — you define a named **user function** in the **Function manager** that wraps one of them, then pick that name on the wire. See [Chapter 19 §19.3](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/idm3-managers-reference.md#193-function-manager). Two parts to this appendix: * [**Part 1**](#part-1--the-predefined-functions) — the 61 functions a project gets from **New from default**. Start here; most of what you need already exists. * [**Part 2**](#part-2--all-108-functions) — every function the software defines, for when you need to build your own. *** ## Function parameters | Parameter | On screen | Range | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Delay | `Digital delay (s)` / `Analog_Delay` | 0 s – 24 h | | Impulse time | `Digital impulse time (s)` | 0 s – 24 h | | Level | `Analog value (%)` / `Analog level` | 0 % – 100 % | | Ramp length | `Analog ramp delay (s)` | 0 s – 1 h | | Increment step | `Analog inc dec step` | 0 % – 100 % | | Increment time | `Analog inc dec time` | 0 s – 1 h | | Auto-off time | `Analog switch OFF over (s)` | 0 s – 24 h | | Counter value | `Counter value` | 0 – 4 294 967 295 | | Temperature | `Set temperature`, `Set heat temperature`, `Set cool temperature` | −40 °C – +200 °C, 0.1 °C steps | | Until | `Until DateTime`, `For time` | — | > **Ramp length is the time for a full 0 % → 100 % sweep**, not the time for the change you asked for. A 10-second ramp moves 10 % → 30 % in 2 seconds. See [Tutorial 3 §Step 5](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/tutorial-dimming-with-analog-functions.md#step-5--ramps-and-the-thing-everyone-gets-wrong). *** ## Part 1 — the predefined functions A project created with **New from default** contains these 61 already.

See [Tutorial 5](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/tutorial-blinds-and-shutters.md). > **`HEATING_COOLING_SWITCH_TO_FAVORITE1`–`4` map onto the older names** minimum, attenuate, normal and comfort. Same four settings, older vocabulary. *** ## Part 2 — all 108 functions Everything the software defines. Use these when building your own definitions in the **Function manager**. **The function's type must match the consumer** — a `Digital` function will not be offered for a dimmer, and an `Analog` one will not be offered for a relay. > **Many labels are untranslated in 3.5.3.** Where the English translation is missing, iDM3 falls back to the function's internal name — so the dropdown shows `GroupDigital_SwitchOn` rather than "Group digital switch ON". **Every `GroupDigital_*` and `GroupAnalog_*` function is affected**, along with `Digital_Impulse_ON`, `Digital_Impulse_OFF`, `Analog_DelaySwitchOn` and `Analog_DelaySwitchValue`. This manual prints what you will actually see. Older documentation prints the tidy English names, which is why the two do not match. ## Digital | On screen | Internal name | Code | | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- | -------- | | `Digital switch ON` | `Digital_SwitchOn` | `0x0100` | | `Digital switch OFF` | `Digital_SwitchOff` | `0x0101` | | `Digital switch value` | `Digital_SwitchValue` | `0x0102` | | `Digital delay switch ON` | `Digital_DelaySwitchOn` | `0x0103` | | `Digital delay switch OFF` | `Digital_DelaySwitchOff` | `0x0104` | | `Digital delay switch value` | `Digital_DelaySwitchValue` | `0x0105` | | `Digital_Impulse_ON` | `Digital_Impulse_ON` | `0x0120` | | `Digital_Impulse_OFF` | `Digital_Impulse_OFF` | `0x0121` | | `Digital impulse` | `Digital_Impulse` | `0x0122` | | `Digital copy` | `Digital_Copy` | `0x0123` | ##

Does nothing if already off. | | `Digital impulse` | Ignores the current state. Delay, flip, impulse time, flip back. | **Copy functions** translate between digital and analog: `0 % = OFF` and `1–100 % = ON` going one way, `OFF = 0 %` and `ON = 100 %` going the other. **Group functions** are identical to their singular counterparts but act on every member of a group. See [Tutorial 4](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/tutorial-groups-and-scenes.md). **Heating and cooling** has by far the largest set — including functions that hold a temperature until a given time, and that override the antifreeze and maximum limits. Most installations need only the twelve predefined ones in Part 1. > **Some functions have no on-screen label** and are marked *(no label)*. They exist in the software but are not offered for selection. *** **See also:** [Appendix A — Action reference](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/idm3-action-reference.md) · [Chapter 18 — The wire editor](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/idm3-wire-editor-reference.md) · [Tutorial 2 — beyond on/off](/inels-bus/inels-design-manager-idm3/tutorial-toggles-impulses-and-delays.md)
