States

Under "Module state collections", state models can be created for the module types.

The desired states are defined in a state module. You can choose from a number of predefined states or add your own states.

configuration_predifined_states

configuration_selfdefined_states

For an explanation about how a state change is made visible in widget "Skyline", see section Interacting with the widget.

Notifications

Under "Notification collections", notification lists can be created for the module types.

The desired notifications are defined in a notification list. You can choose from a number of predefined notifications or add your own.

For an explanation about how a notification is displayed in widget "Skyline", see section Interacting with the widget.

If the extended parameters are enabled in the configuration, it is possible to define whether a notification can be displayed once or multiple times.

multiple_notifications

If "Multiple instances" is set to "Enabled", the same notification can be set multiple times using MpSkylineSetNotification. This looks something like this in widget "Skyline":

Module types

The different module types are defined under "Module types" A unique name for the type must be defined under "Name". The size of the module type to be displayed in widget "Skyline" is defined via "Size". Here you can choose between XS, S, M or L. The size of these parameters is defined via properties "minXS", "maxXS", "minM", "maxM", etc. on widget "Skyline" .

Which state module and which notification list should be used for the module type is specified via "State collection" and "Notification collection".

For an explanation about how a module type is displayed in widget "Skyline", see section Interacting with the widget.

Skyline

How the skyline should look is defined under "Machine skyline". The desired modules are specified one after the other.

A unique name must be defined for each module. The desired module type is selected under "Type". A static text or a text that is localized by the text system can be specified under "Text". This text will be displayed on widget "Skyline". For an explanation about how the text can be positioned in the module and how the appearance can be defined, see section Interacting with the widget or Positioning texts and symbols.

For each module, it is also possible to display a module symbol. This will be defined in widget "Skyline". For more information, see here.

"Grouping" can be used to determine whether or not modules of the same type can be grouped together to improve the display on widget "Skyline" . It can look like this, for example:

grouping_example2

Fig.: Skyline with module grouping

For more information, see section "Positioning the Modules / Grouping" in Interacting with the widget.

Options

To create options for module types, the advanced properties must be enabled in the configuration.

activate_advanced_parameters

First, a state module must be created for the option under "Option state collections". This works according to the same principle as explained under "States". This means that an option can assume different states. For example, option "Cooling" may have state "On" or "Off".

config_option_states

The option itself is defined under "Options". A unique name must be specified for the option under "Names". Under "State collection", the desired state module is specified that was previously created under "Option state collections".

config_options

Finally, the option is assigned to a module type. Several different options can also be specified.
