Using Shift function
What is the shift function?
You can create a shift function for the following controls:
generic controls
specific dimming control
specific motor control
digital sensor, only bus wiring
connection to external system, only bus wiring
wireless window or door contact
With the shift function, you can make a button perform different actions (basic actions or routines) depending on its mode (normal or shift).
If the condition is fulfilled, the button will either be in normal or in shift mode.
